Welcome to the Oregon eSIS web site. This site is
intended as an open exchange of ideas,
issues, and progress surrounding the adoption of a new
student information system, eSIS.
eSIS is the trademark name of a comprehensive student
information system created by AAL, a company based in
Toronto, Canada.
Districts across the country are struggling with issues
similar to those we face in Oregon. Lack of school funding, declining
resources, and the need for more efficient, effective
student tracking and better student demographic data
have led many districts to systems that are web-based,
so that data entered is immediately available in real
time.
For this reason multiple districts throughout Oregon
have come together to share resources in the
development and implementation of this new approach to
tracking and reporting student information. With
decreased school funding, members of this site have
come together to share costs, collaborate, and discuss
the eSIS implementation. This collaboration means that
we are creating common approaches and solutions to
problems faced by K-12 school districts across the
state. The spirit of
cooperation and sharing allows each of us to build upon
the successes and to avoid the missteps of preceding
implementations.
In the future, collaboration such as this will increase
our effectiveness and our efficiency in supporting
student data tracking and reporting requirements, while
maintaining focus on the needs of each of our
participating districts.
We hope to extend this collaboration to include common
discussions of curriculum and instruction and the use
of accurate data for school planning efforts.
Welcome to Oregon eSIS. We look forward to
developing eSIS with you.
