North Dakota’s BRIDGE K-12 Data Modernization Initiative is transforming how schools manage and use student information across the state. Led by NDDPI, this collaborative project connects districts, educators, and state partners under one secure, unified system.

North Dakota’s K-12 Data Modernization Initiative is well underway. Implementation engagements with districts are in progress, focusing on preparation, data quality, and readiness for the transition to Infinite Campus. Over the coming weeks, districts can expect direct outreach and support as data migration activities begin. 

As North Dakota continues its statewide transition to Infinite Campus through the BRIDGE project, several important updates are now underway to support successful district implementation.

As part of North Dakota’s ongoing efforts to streamline student information systems and enhance district-level data management, NDDPI is offering districts the opportunity to explore and implement a variety of optional modules within Infinite Campus. These modules are designed to support specific operational and programmatic needs, providing flexibility and enhanced functionality for schools across the state.

As part of North Dakota’s BRIDGE initiative to modernize K-12 data systems, NDDPI has finalized several key configuration decisions for the statewide rollout of Infinite Campus, the state’s new K-12 Student Information System (SIS). These decisions are designed to ensure a secure, consistent, and efficient data environment for all North Dakota students—public and nonpublic alike.

We are approaching the next step in the statewide rollout of Infinite Campus. Beginning this month, Infinite Campus project managers will initiate direct engagement with local education agencies (LEAs) to launch the implementation process.

While the BRIDGE project brings many technical changes to North Dakota’s K-12 education ecosystem, it is equally important to focus on the people side of change. Research shows that the single greatest factor in successful change initiatives is active and visible sponsorship.

As North Dakota transitions to Infinite Campus, here are some recent questions from the field, along with answers to keep you informed.

NDDPI issued an RFP for school data migration in July. Eighteen proposals were received, and an "Intent to Award" was posted on the State Procurement Office website on Aug. 22. The contract is expected to be awarded in early September. NDDPI will continue to share updates and keep districts informed as additional details become available.
