For those of you responsible for maintaining and researching student data in MSDS, you are likely aware that MSDS will undergo a scheduled offline period for approximately three days beginning Friday, April 12, to perform closeout of the MSDS Spring General Collection. However, we want to assure you that despite this temporary disruption, CEPI offers UIC Services and Snack-Pack (Portable Student Record Services) through MiDataHub in collaboration with the primary Student Information Systems (SIS), to ensure access to critical MSDS student data.
UIC Services provides a process within your SIS, allowing users to do automated UIC searches, resolution, linking, and UIC requests. These searches, conducted within the SIS take only seconds to complete. The process diminishes the need to access MSDS to generate or look up UICs for newly enrolled students in the district because the process is available in the SIS.
Snack-Pack uses portable student record service to provide a small set of essential student data for newcomers transferring into your district. The information retrieved is based on the most recent records submitted to MSDS by the student’s previous district. Much like UIC Services, this data retrieval can be seamlessly executed through your SIS interface.
If your district uses Infinite Campus, MISTAR-Q, PowerSchool, Skyward, or Synergy as its SIS, then you are able to integrate with these services. Detailed instructions for setting up these integrations are accessible through the following links:
If you have any questions about the integrations, please contact us by opening a help desk ticket at MiServiceDesk.
