Fall 2018 Implementation Update


I just wanted to give you all a little update about our process in implementing our new Student Information System (SIS). Here are some of the things we’ve done since you last heard from me:

  • All contracts were negotiated and signed and POs were drawn up
  • Last week, the Infinite Campus Sales Team wanted to meet with me, our head of IT (Jesse), Preeti and our Schedulers. We met for about 90 minutes online and they asked for some basic information about bell schedules and attendance protocols and the primary purpose of the meeting was to introduce us to our Implementation Project Manager, Katie Groth, as well as the team of four others from Infinite Campus who will be supporting our transition.
  • We created an Implementation Team made of the following people, because they fit the types of roles Infinite Campus indicated would be most helpful:
    • Me, Jesse Lara, Jennifer Gargano, Preeti Sharan, Kristin Giammona, Evan Barth, Lori Villarreal, Marianne Rager, Troy Thiele
  • The SIS Success Team is still an integral part to our entire process, and will continue to be used as a resource as specific implementation questions arise.
  • This Implementation Team will be meeting with all of Infinite Campus’ Team in early November, after which I will provide an additional update about more specific details.
