New Jersey K-12 Student Information System

One System for Everything New Jersey Asks

Your list of responsibilities keeps growing. OnCourse grows with you, giving you one place to manage NJSLEDS reporting, NJTSS documentation, NJSLA/NJGLA school board reports, 504 plans, and a range of SIS operational tasks like enrollment, scheduling, intervention, and graduation.

“OnCourse’s willingness to grow with the district is on the top of the list of reasons we went with and continue to enjoy our experience with OnCourse. OnCourse is education focused. The integration, cost, and single pane of glass concept was also high on the list of OnCourse positives.” Eric Glock-Molloy, Sayreville Public Schools, on converting from Powerschool.

Helpful Guidance from NJ Experts

OnCourse keeps your SIS plugged into NJDOE requirements, reducing stress during key submissions for NJSLEDs, QSAC, AchieveNJ, and CRDC. You’ll enjoy help from a local support team, an online community of NJ peers, and free NJ-aligned webinars, e-mail alerts, and user guides.

“I’m fairly new to using OnCourse. Coming from a district that used Genesis, I’ve found the support from OnCourse to be incredible. The NJSLEDS updates that make our lives as Data Managers easier, OnCourse University, the support chat, and the OnCourse email group are all extremely helpful.”
Brianna Robinson, Data Specialist, Buena Regional School District

Your Fresh Start, Managed by Pros

OnCourse is a new beginning, giving your district a unique opportunity to break through stubborn barriers to growth.

To help you through the change, an experienced Project Manager builds a plan around how your schools actually run, supported by a database team that moves comprehensive data from your legacy SIS. Your team will receive a personalized training plan, self-service OnCourse University guidance, and support for all.

“The more we can consolidate and integrate, and reduce logins for people, the better the educational outcomes will be.” Mike Munafo, Tech Director at Pittsgrove Township School District.

About Implementation

OnCourse Student Story Dashboard with a student

Every year, NJ districts suffer through the consequences of fractured data systems. Hours lost in Excel. Expensive data warehouses that collect dust. Schools put big effort into creating a "whole child" picture of data, but by the time it's done, it's too late to matter.
In OnCourse, that picture is already assembled. The Student Story puts one child's grades, attendance, NJSLA performance, screener results, health records, discipline, 504 plan, and I&RS/NJTSS documentation on a single screen.
Understanding Every Student Story, Galloway Township Schools

"Since implementing OnCourse SIS, our district has moved from simply managing data to truly understanding our students. The Student Story provide a holistic, humanized view of every learner, while the Multiple Measures reporting allows for sophisticated peer comparisons and deep-data analysis. We've found the MTSS and the Early Warning System components to be helpful for tracking student growth against specific goals over time, ensuring no student falls through the cracks." Betty Napoli, Director of Curriculum

MTSS

Districts who want a fully-integrated workflow for tiered supports can upgrade to OnCourse MTSS, a platform for reviewing screening results, assigning intervention strategies, and monitoring student progress.
