      Bridge Overview: School Pathways

      Two-Way Integrations and Export bridges to other vendors

      School Pathways Bridging: In School Pathways, there are two types of bridges: Two-Way Integrations and Exports. These bridges facilitate the exchange of information between School Pathways and other systems.

      Two-Way Integrations: Two-way integrations refer to the exchange of rostering/class section information between School Pathways and a Learning Management System (LMS). In this process, School Pathways receives assignment grade information on a nightly basis. We offer a range of two-way integrations to facilitate this data exchange.

      Exports: Typically, School Pathways sends flat files of data to other vendors. However, there are a few exceptions where we also receive data from those vendors.

      Interested in a bridge or Integration below? Reach out to us at School Pathways and we can give you all the details!

      API Resources:

      REST API:

      • Provides the following capabilities: creates new records from externally derived data; reads operations on a row-by-row basis, including range matches and partial searches; and updates or deletes existing records in the School Pathways databases.  Business rules that may be embedded in STORM will apply to REST API. These rules can be customized but are not directly accessible or modifiable.  While every effort is made to provide read/write access to a school’s data, some tables are "code tables" necessary for operation of the system, and write access may be limited as appropriate.  Where possible, the School Pathways databases are normalized to the 5th Normal form (5NF) and use surrogate (non-natural) key

       

       Two-Way Integrations:

      Apex Learning two-way Curriculum Bridge:

      • Near real-time synchronous integration with Apex Learning to send and receive course assignment, user account provisioning, single sign on, enrollment updates, import of student result data including time on task attendance, assignments and grades, and student portal access data.  Allows for periodic batch updates to Apex

      • Works with CMS or PLS Classes

      Agilix BUZZ Bridge / BUZZ Connect two-way bridge:     

      • A software product developed by School Pathways that permits near real-time integration between SIS and Agilix BUZZ.  Teachers can create courses or adjust vendor courses in Agilix BUZZ.  Using BUZZ Connect, school representatives can enroll students into Agilix BUZZ courses through SIS and obtain seamless tracking of course completion, grades received, and credits earned.  (BUZZ Connect licensees must have a direct license for Agilix BUZZ, either through School Pathways, Agilix or another Agilix reseller.)

      • This Bridge doesn't offer mid year implementation, therefore we will need to start at the beginning of the school year. 
      • Works best with CMS

      Canvas Two-Way Bridge:

      • 2 way Integration: A software tool that automatically imports and exports courses, sections, enrollments and users to Canvas on a daily basis. A link is provided to Canvas on the Staff Dashboard and the Student Portal.

      • Works with PLS or CMS Classes

      Edgenuity two-way Bridge:

      • A software product that converts class registrations, attendance and progress data tracked for a given school by Edgenuity, Inc. into a format compatible with SIS and then loads that data into SIS for use by the school.  The Edgenuity Bridge consists of four separate bridges:  (1) the Class Registration Bridge (Fall1); (2) the Courses Bridge (Fall2); (3) the Attendance Bridge; and (4) the Assignments Bridge.

      • Only works with PLS Classes in School Pathways

      Edmentum Two-Way Bridge:

      • The two-way integration between the SIS and Edmentum allows for nightly and real-time data synchronization. This integration enables the transfer of Staff, Students, Classes, and Registrations from the SIS to Edmentum. Additionally, it allows for the receipt of Curricula, Assignments, Grades, and Time on Task data from Edmentum into the SIS. This seamless integration ensures that both systems stay up-to-date with the latest information, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in managing educational data.
      • Works with both CMS and PLS classes

      Google Classroom two-way Bridge:

      • 2 way bridge that sends student, class, instructor level data to Google Classroom. Receives Assignment and Grade data from Google Classroom

      • Includes Google SSO
      • Works best with CMS Classes

      Zoom

      • School Pathways offers a two-way Zoom bridge.  This bridge works in coordination with our Engagement Calendar to streamline the tracking of Synchronous Instruction. As staff create a Synchronous Event on the Engagement Calendar and attach a Zoom meeting, the bridge will create that meeting in Zoom and invite the students to that Zoom meeting.  Reducing the amount of double entry.  Nightly the bridge will run and record any participation and time onto the Synchronous event. This data will flow to the PLS Roster- Activity Monitor as well as the Engagement Logs.
      • Works with our Engagement Calendar exclusively (does not get attached to classes)
