BRIDGE Update
Data Migration
NDDPI has secured an additional vendor to support the PowerSchool‑to‑Infinite Campus transition. Aurora Educational Technology, a firm with extensive experience in this type of migration, will now be assisting with the process.
Aurora recently supported school districts in North Carolina with their statewide transition from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus. We will begin coordinating immediately with Aurora and Infinite Campus to revise the migration and trial conversion plans. Updated timelines and details will be shared as soon as they are available, which we expect to be on or before Friday, March 27.
Multi-Generational Project Plan
Large, transformational initiatives don’t happen overnight, especially when they impact schools, districts, and educators across an entire state. That’s why the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction (NDDPI) has taken a deliberate and thoughtful approach to planning this work.

School/District Reports Survey
As part of our ongoing data modernization efforts, we are working to streamline reporting processes and increase access to timely, actionable information for schools and districts. To ensure our work aligns with the needs of instructional and operational leaders, we are gathering feedback on which reports and dashboards should be prioritized for automation.
This brief survey asks you to identify the reports you rely on most, the pain points you experience in your current reporting processes, and which reporting areas would provide the greatest value if automated. Any school or district staff responsible for submitting reports is welcome to take the survey. Please submit responses by April 10.
FAQs & Knowledge Base
Q: Will entries logged in PowerSchool, such as parent contact and discipline records, be transferred to Infinite Campus?
A: Yes. Districts will work with their data conversion teams to map their fields to the fields that exist within Infinite Campus.
Q: Is there a way for schedules in PowerScheduler to be transferred from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus during the data conversion process?
A: If you use PowerScheduler to create a master schedule, you should commit your master schedule before running the end-of-year process. The end-of-year process modifies each student’s Next School Indicator and Next Year Grade.
