The Student Information System (SIS) vendor package, Infinite Campus, provides automated support primarily to schoolhouse personnel for managing student data. It consists of the core applications of enrollment demographic information, attendance, scheduling, discipline, state and federal DOE reporting, and parent access modules.
Our software engineers do not provide direct technical support for the Infinite Campus applications. Their primary responsibility is to provide the interface support needed to develop peripheral applications utilizing the data maintained in the Infinite Campus data base. The majority of these applications, such as Textbook Management, Safe School Reporting, College and Career Readiness Performance Index (CCRPI), School Choice Registration and Lottery Options, Standardized Tests updates, interfaces to other packages such as TieNet, Clever, McGraw Hill Online Resources, etc. are maintained on an in-house-developed website.

The software engineers supporting this package are responsible for installing quarterly releases from the vendor, implementing and supporting custom code merged in the vendor’s package to meet the specific needs of the District, as well as develop custom interfaces to other personnel entities to support Life Insurance, State Reporting on certified staff, New Hires data, etc.
