Answer

Yes. NDDPI plans to begin communicating with families in Spring 2026. These communications will focus on helping families become familiar with the functionality and benefits of a new student information system, understand how data informs instruction, and feel confident that their child’s data is secure and accurate. We also intend to share resources with districts that can be shared with students and families.

Look for more information in the future to clarify which communications will come from NDDPI vs. which communications should be coming from the district or school-level.
