Connect your student information system to the vendor applications your district uses, and control what data each one receives.
What it is
SchoolDay Connect is the module where District Admins link their student information system (SIS) to approved vendor applications. It is the district's single control point for outgoing data.
What it does
Connect imports SIS data, maps it to a common format, and shares it with your activated vendor applications on a schedule you set. Before data leaves, Connect checks quality, flags duplicates, and masks sensitive fields.
Why use it
- Build one integration per SIS instead of one per vendor.
- Decide which vendor application receives which data, and revoke access at any time.
- Catch data quality errors before a vendor does.
- Mask PII according to district policy.
Main components
- Application Gallery: find and activate vendor applications
- Data Browsing: inspect rostering, gradebook, and resource data
- Data Quality: errors, duplicates, and data requirements per application
- Privacy Shield: mask personal data before it is shared
- Administration: admin accounts, permissions, and data rollover
Two related modules open from Connect: SchoolDay AppStore for single sign-on and provisioning, and the Privacy Governance Console for PII monitoring.
