Aeries SIS is a California-focused student information system that manages enrollment, demographics, attendance, scheduling, courses, grades, transcripts, discipline, health information, programs, and state reporting. It serves as the operational student record used by district offices, schools, teachers, students, and families.

California districts use Aeries to support daily school operations and CALPADS reporting while exchanging rosters and records with learning, assessment, communication, nutrition, identity, and other systems. Districts should document which Aeries modules, portals, APIs, and third-party integrations are authoritative for each data domain.

Infinite Campus is a comprehensive K–12 SIS for enrollment, demographics, scheduling, attendance, grades, transcripts, behavior, health, programs, fees, food service, portals, communication, and regulatory reporting. It serves districts and state or regional implementations from a shared student-data platform.

Districts use Campus as the operational system of record and may license additional learning, registration, payments, analytics, communication, and services. Agencies should document which modules are deployed, how state reporting is managed, and which APIs or standards-based exchanges feed other systems.

Campus Parent is the family portal for district-enabled student information such as attendance, schedules, assignments, grades, and messages. Families can use the portal and supported mobile app according to district settings. It is a component of the Campus environment, and should not be confused with the separate Campus Messenger communication offering.

LearnPlatform by Instructure is an edtech-management and evidence platform for inventorying digital learning products, monitoring usage, supporting privacy and compliance review, organizing approvals, and evaluating effectiveness and return on investment. It helps districts replace disconnected spreadsheets used for software requests and renewals.

The platform is directly relevant to the user’s original reason for creating the Workflow category, but its clearer home is EdTech Management, Software Governance, or Application Portfolio Management. Existing interoperability values are preserved pending the future connector redesign.

Renaissance FastBridge is a screening and progress-monitoring system for reading, mathematics, and social-emotional behavior measures. It combines computer-adaptive and curriculum-based measures with benchmarks, risk indicators, skills information, and intervention-oriented reporting.

Districts use FastBridge for universal screening, MTSS decisions, frequent progress monitoring, and evaluating whether students are responding to support. Districts should align administration, accommodations, score interpretation, data access, and retention with the intended use of the assessment.

Xello is a K–12 college and career readiness platform that guides students from early self-discovery through career and postsecondary exploration, academic planning, work-based learning, and college applications. Students build a persistent profile of interests, skills, goals, experiences, portfolios, and plans while completing age-appropriate lessons and district-assigned readiness tasks.

Counselors and administrators use Xello to monitor completion, manage four-year plans, coordinate application documents, communicate with students, and report on district readiness requirements. The platform connects with SIS products, SSO and rostering services, Common App, Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, and other partners so planning work can use current student data and feed real application processes.
