What Is BRIDGE

North Dakota's BRIDGE K-12 Data Modernization Initiative is transforming how schools manage and use student information across the state. Led by NDDPI, this collaborative project connects districts, educators, and state partners under one secure, unified system.

At the heart of BRIDGE: One piece of this initiative is replacing PowerSchool with Infinite Campus, providing every North Dakota district with a modern, statewide student information system (SIS) effective July 1, 2026.

This modernization effort ensures:

• Consistent data standards across all schools and districts.
• Enhanced privacy and security for student and family data.
• Streamlined processes that reduce administrative burden.
• Real-time data insights to support instruction and decision-making.

BRIDGE isn't just a technology upgrade-it's about building stronger connections between data, systems, and people. The project brings together state and local partners to enhance the way North Dakota collects, reports, and uses education information to support student success.

What's happening now: Districts across North Dakota are actively participating in engagement meetings, readiness checklists, and training sessions to prepare for migration to Infinite Campus. These activities will continue throughout 2025 and early 2026 to ensure a smooth transition.
