Automated Data from a Student Information System (SIS) – eduCLIMBER

Organizations can have their SIS data automatically uploaded with an automated nightly sync to eduCLIMBER. This setup is done during the onboarding process. While eduCLIMBER can automate with many Student Information Systems, some include: PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward, Aeries, and eSchoolData. This lesson provides information on the data that can be automated from the SIS.

Required Permission: Upload Data into eduCLIMBER
