First SIS Success Team Meeting

Our first SIS Success Team meeting was held on Tuesday, April 10 and proved to be a productive time. The slides that guided our two hours together are below. 

While we did not make a final decision during the meeting itself about which vendors we would invite for demonstrations, this was because we wanted to ensure that everyone had time to digest the information and give feedback. As such, a form was sent out, and if half of the respondents chose a vendor to invite, they were extended an invitation.

The three vendors we have invited are:

Veracross

Infinite Campus

Powerschool

All three vendors have slides dedicated in the slidedeck above if you're interested in learning more. Or, of course, you're free to Google or YouTube search any of them.

We also adjusted our overarching criteria that we will use to review the vendors. We added the need for Security to our criteria and consolidated "Administrator, Teacher, Parent Usability" and "Student Usability" into "Usability - Front end and Back end", thereby removing some confusion.

Additional information will be provided when the demonstration dates are confirmed. As always, please reach out if you have any questions in the meantime.

Vendor Review Meetings

We've begun the process of meeting again with user groups to now give overviews of the various vendors contacted. Meetings will continue through the next month. Please reach out if you'd like to have input or if you have any questions by emailing Liz Brumbaugh.

This is the slidedeck (ancillary materials are embedded within the slides - please keep the slides with Harker staff and faculty):




As noted in the slides, we're also rounding out our SIS Success Team. These representatives are here to provide additional perspective, advisement and will be collectively determining next steps, as they have been involved and participated in this process since our first meetings. This team will be choosing the 2-3 vendors to call back for a longer demo to which everyone will be invited.
