AWS Migration Information for the eSD Software

Overview

CSIU will migrate eSchoolData from the current CSIU-hosted environment to eSchoolData-hosted environment in Amazon Web Services (AWS) . This migration is designed to provide a modern, scalable, and secure hosting platform for eSchoolData.

During the migration, eSchoolData will be unavailable to all users while production data is transferred and validated. Following the migration, clients will receive new URLs and will need to complete several required updates to ensure continued access to eSchoolData services.

Please Note: This migration affects eSchoolData only. FIS, SCView, SmartSub, and Synergy are not affected and will continue to be available as normal

1. July 14, 4:00 PM: CSIU-hosted eSchoolData servers will be taken offline. 
   
1. Staff should be logged out of CSIU-hosted eSchoolData by 3:30 PM to ensure that ALL data changes transfer to the AWS Servers.
   
2. July 15: Data migration and synchronization activities will occur. 
   
1. Staff should NOT attempt access AWS-hosted eSchoolData
   
3. July 16-17: Validation and testing. 
   
1. Staff should NOT attempt access AWS-hosted eSchoolData until CSIU issues an official notification that access has been restored.
4. July 20: Go Live! 
   
1. District Staff can begin accessing AWS-hosted eSchoolData 

System Access During Migration

To protect the integrity and accuracy of data during the migration process, CSIU-hosted eSchoolData SIS will be unavailable to all users throughout the migration window.

Users who access old CSIU-hosted URLs will be redirected to a generic informational page indicating that the eSchoolData login location has changed. The page will instruct users to visit their School District's or Career and Technical Center's website for updated login links and will indicate that eSchoolData is expected to be unavailable until July 20, 2026.

What Will Change

Following the migration:

• eSchoolData will be hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS).

• New URLs for Staff Access, Parent Access, Student Access, Guru Access, Online Registration and CTE Portals.
  

• Existing CSIU-hosted URLs will redirect to a generic informational page indicating that the eSchoolData login location has changed. The page will instruct users to visit their School District's or Career and Technical Center's website for updated login links and will indicate that eSchoolData is expected to be unavailable until July 20, 2026.

• Guru API credentials must be updated once the migration is complete.
