SchoolWise Applications

Introduction

SchoolWise is a district-wide, multiple-school, multiple-year, Student Information System Management Database, built on a Microsoft SQL Server.

There are two SchoolWise SIS applications: SchoolWise Desktop and SchoolWise Web. They do not contain all of the same features.

SchoolWise Desktop is the school administration foundation of the student information system that runs on Microsoft Windows (SchoolWise Desktop does not run on Macintosh computers unless Parallels Desktop has been installed which enables Macintosh computers to run Microsoft Windows.). 

If a staff user account is needed for the SchoolWise desktop app, it can be setup by a security admin per these instructions: https://help.schoolwise.com/docs/schoolwise-user-security#schoolwise-desktop-user-security

SchoolWise Web is a set of four add-on modules which run in a web browser and thus can be accessed from any internet enabled device (PCs, Macs, iPads, Chromebooks, smart phones, etc.). SchoolWise Web is an optional application that cannot run without SchoolWise Desktop administering the main SIS database.

If a staff user account is needed for the SchoolWise web app, the user can setup their own account per these instructions: https://help.schoolwise.com/v1/docs/how-to-create-teacherstaff-web-accounts
