SIS integrations

At a glance

Who uses it: Districts that want AmplifyED rosters to come from their student information system.
When to use it: When you are ready to retire CSV imports as the primary rostering path.
Permissions required: Administrator at the district level, plus SIS admin access.
Status: Planned — scoped during onboarding for each customer.

Purpose

AmplifyED is designed to integrate with major SIS platforms (PowerSchool, Skyward, Infinite Campus, Genius SIS) for automated roster sync. Today, those integrations are delivered as customer-specific projects during onboarding rather than as one-click connectors.

What works today

CSV imports for students, teachers, and assignments — see Importing students and CSV imports.
Canvas and Google Classroom for rostering through the LMS path.
Manual entry for small pilots.

What is scoped during onboarding

Direct API connection to your SIS.
Field mapping (which SIS attributes become which AmplifyED fields).
Sync cadence (typically nightly).
Soft-delete behavior for students who leave the district.

How to start a SIS integration scoping conversation

Email integrations@amplifyed.app with your SIS vendor, version, and rough roster size.
Your account team schedules a 30-minute discovery call.
We produce a scope and timeline. Most SIS integrations land within 4–8 weeks of approval.

Tips & best practices

Run CSV imports in parallel during the first 2–4 weeks of the SIS integration so you can compare.
Confirm withdrawal handling explicitly — what should happen to open cases when a student is withdrawn in the SIS?

FAQ

Is there an off-the-shelf PowerSchool connector? Not yet. PowerSchool is the most common request and is on our integration roadmap; today it is delivered as a scoped onboarding project.

Can we use OneRoster CSV instead? Yes — AmplifyED's CSV importer accepts OneRoster-shaped student and enrollment files with light field mapping.
