      Obtain ClassLink API credentials

      Setup ClassLink app on School Passport

      Sync data with ClassLink

      School Passport supports Secure Data Sync with a wide range of the district's student information systems (SIS). One of them is ClassLink SIS. ClassLink Roster Server sends data securely and automatically. Students' data stays resident on a virtual server at the district, not in the cloud. Learning resources are ready for use instantly and they are kept that way throughout the school year even as enrollments change.

      To configure data sync with ClassLink, perform the following steps:

      1. Obtain ClassLink API credentials

      2. Setup ClassLink app on School Passport

      3. Sync data with ClassLink

      Obtain ClassLink API credentials

      For instructions on how to get API credentials, refer to the Skyward Help Center. You can also learn how to connect the vendor's Roster Server app to your Roster Server Console.

        • Data will be uploaded from multiple data sources: Select if uploading data from multiple sources (e.g., SIS and Active Directory). Leave clear if uses a single source (e.g., SIS only).
        • Compare records accordingly to the Domains of Uniqueness: Select to activate duplicate detection.
        • Preview of data upload: Select to manually approve every data sync. New data won’t be available until you accept the changes.

        Sync data with ClassLink

        Once the ClassLink integration is set up, you can run a sync with ClassLink SIS at any time. 

        We recommend running a sync if you have new or updated data in ClassLink for School Passport. Please note, that if a teacher or student is removed from the sync, their enrollments will also be deleted.

        To run a sync with ClassLink SIS,  go to the ClassLink app in School Passport and click Run Sync.
