These instructions guide you on how to set up the data-sharing integration between your SIS and the School Passport. Before you start sharing data with School Passport, please ensure that you review the data requirements. Once the data is synchronized, we will validate and check its quality before proceeding with the sharing process. If any details need clarification, the GG4L Customer Support Representative will contact you.
