If you missed last week’s data migration update, please take a moment to review that here: BRIDGE Data Migration Update: April 1, 2026 | North Dakota Department of Public Instruction
We are excited to announce that Infinite Campus has resumed trial data conversions beginning today (Thursday, April 9, 2026). The teams agreed that perfect data is not required to proceed; trials should move forward when data is directionally correct, systemically consistent, and sufficient to expose issues that only emerge within Infinite Campus. Trial conversions are intended as a validation and learning mechanism—not acceptance—and delaying for perfection would slow discovery of important improvements.
In parallel, Infinite Campus and Aurora Educational Technology will continue refining data extracts using isolated datasets to improve mappings and address format mismatches, duplicates, and orphaned records, with the goal of producing the cleanest possible production extracts. Custom PowerSchool data and district-level customizations will also be supported. We’ll be communicating more details on this process in the very near future.
Your Infinite Campus Implementation team will work directly with your district to discuss the process for reviewing your district’s converted data. The overall goal for this activity is to produce the cleanest and most accurate data extracts possible for Production Data Conversions.
Other Opportunities for Data Migration Support:
- We will now be offering our BRIDGE Open Office Hours sessions on a weekly basis, instead of monthly. Our next session is scheduled for next Wednesday, April 15, 12–1 p.m. Special emphasis will be placed on data migration-related questions, but all topics are welcomed.
- As always, we encourage you to submit specific questions/concerns to the BRIDGE project team at BRIDGE@nd.gov
- NDDPI will soon be announcing a series of data migration-specific support sessions for district personnel to attend. These will be aimed at ensuring districts can access their SFTP site to view their raw data extracts, as well as assist districts with data cleanup efforts for their specific district.
