ORDA Office Hours Webinar

An ORDA Office Hour webinar will take place the third Wednesday this month.

January 19, 2022
Register now and join us live for our January ORDA Office Hour from 9:00-10:00 a.m. EST.
In this session, we’ll provide a demo of 2022 district Ed-Fi PowerSchool instance integration. Level Data will also share validation updates and there will be an open Q&A session with ORDA staff. 

PowerSchool

Link of the week: Last week, we linked to the PowerSchool AllStates SIS Data Dictionary. This week’s featured link to bookmark is the South Carolina Department of Education’s Student Information System Data Entry Manual: Student Information System Data Entry Manual

Updates from Level Data

SCDE is crafting an agreement with Level Data to support districts in migrating student contacts data from the SC PowerSchool page to the Core PowerSchool Contacts module. Districts will have up to 18 months to migrate data. Only data from Core PowerSchool Contacts are moved to the District Ed-Fi ODS.
