Minnesota District Selects Nearby Vendor for New SIS
Edina
Public Schools (EPS) has chosen a provider local to it to supply a new student information system
(SIS).
Although
Infinite
Campus provides administrative
software to schools throughout the United States, company representatives
said Edina
would benefit in particular from its close proximity to company
headquarters in
Blaine, MN.
"We
welcome EPS to our strong network of more
than 130 Minnesota districts and active user groups, and we look
forward to
working with EPS well into the future," said Infinite Campus Regional
Sales
Manager Sean Forster.
Forster
said Infinite Campus' SIS would offer the
district with 8,500 students and nine schools in Edina, MN, a number of
options
it doesn't currently have, including:
- Students
and parents will be able to access
real-time information about grades, schedules and assignments from any
device
with Internet access;
- Administrators
will have the information they
need to make informed decisions and accurate projections; and
- Teachers
will have a comprehensive suite of tools
including learning management capabilities.
"In
this uncertain time of mergers and
acquisitions," Forster added, "Infinite Campus assures EPS of being
partnered
with a stable company that's been led by the same CEO and maintained
the same
continuously improved product since 1993."
Infinite
Campus customers include school
districts, regional consortia, state departments and the federal
government,
serving a total of 7.3 million students in 45 states.
