Panorama Student Success integrates SIS and other systems to create unified student profiles, combining academic, behavior, attendance, and well-being data. There are two options for securely accessing data systems, 1) Direct Access, where Panorama automatically exports data each night using APIs and automated data exports, and 2) Secure File Transfer, where districts provide data file exports from a system which are then imported to Panorama via Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

Innovare presents student-level views that display data like attendance and weekly assignment completion rates, as well as insights to celebrate student growth.

Check out three approaches to rostering students with Innovare:  

1. Direct integration into the system of record of your choice, usually an SIS
2. Direct integration into the data warehouse of record
3. Manual CSV file upload

So What

Centralizing student records and aligning them to graduation requirements can help districts identify off-track students earlier and create more consistent student success practices across schools.

Context Setting

Before implementing the New Visions Data Portal, New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) faced challenges with fragmented gradebooks, inconsistent graduation tracking practices, and limited visibility into which students were off track for graduation. Educators often had to pull information from multiple systems, making it difficult to identify risk early or coordinate interventions consistently across schools.

Innovation/Partnership

To address these challenges, NYCPS partnered with New Visions for Public Schools to implement the New Visions Data Portal, a centralized student planning and management platform. The Portal integrated course completion, Regents exam performance, attendance, and credit accumulation data into a single system aligned to graduation requirements. Educators, counselors, and school leaders collaborated with New Visions’ technical and design teams to configure thresholds, align workflows, and ensure student success teams could easily identify and group students based on shared needs.

Impact

By centralizing and organizing student data around graduation progress, schools were able to identify students at risk earlier, improve coordination across student success teams, and connect interventions more directly to student needs. This approach helped turn fragmented student data into actionable insights that supported more proactive and prevention-focused student support practices.

Strategy Fit

Consider this strategy if your district has:

• Difficulty identifying students who are off track for graduation
• Student data is spread across disconnected systems or spreadsheets
• Inconsistent student success practices across schools
• Challenges coordinating interventions across counselors, teachers, and student success teams
• Limited visibility into student progress toward graduation requirements

Roadmap

• Identify which student data sources are currently used for graduation tracking
• Align graduation requirements and thresholds across schools or teams
• Centralize key student indicators into one accessible platform or dashboard
• Configure alerts or flags for students who are off track
• Create shared workflows for counselors, educators, and student success teams
• Establish recurring review processes to monitor student progress and intervention needs

So What

Bringing student data from multiple systems into one unified view can help districts reduce delays in identifying student needs and improve coordination across student success teams.

Context Setting

Before the school year began, Colorado Springs School District 11 (D11) struggled with student data being distributed across multiple platforms and systems. This fragmentation made it difficult for educators and student success teams to quickly access important information about attendance, course performance, behavior, and student well-being when preparing for the year.

Innovation/Partnership

To improve visibility into student needs, D11 partnered with Panorama to implement Panorama Student Success, a platform that integrates multiple student indicators into one centralized dashboard. The district configured the system to pull together attendance, academic, behavior, and well-being data so teams could access a more complete picture of students before the year began. This reduced the need for manual data reconciliation and helped teams prepare for intervention planning earlier.

Impact

Creating a unified student view allowed educators and student success teams to spend less time gathering information and more time preparing proactive support strategies for students. The district was better positioned to identify students who may need support early in the year and coordinate responses across teams.

Strategy Fit

Consider this strategy if your district has:

• Student data spread across multiple disconnected systems
• Delays in preparing student success teams before the school year starts
• Difficulty accessing attendance, academic, and well-being data in one place
• Challenges coordinating across departments or staff roles
• Heavy reliance on manual data collection and spreadsheets

Roadmap

• Identify which systems currently house student success data
• Determine which student indicators are most important to centralize
• Configure dashboards or student profiles to combine key indicators
• Create role-based access for educators, counselors, and administrators
• Develop workflows for reviewing student data before the school year begins
• Train staff on how to use unified student views to support planning and intervention

So What

Districts do not need highly sophisticated technical systems to create effective student risk identification processes: simple, structured approaches can still support proactive student success practices.

Context Setting

Demopolis High School needed a way to consistently identify students who may require additional support before challenges escalated. Like many smaller districts, the school did not rely on a large or highly integrated technical infrastructure, making it important to create a process that was accessible, sustainable, and easy for staff to use consistently.

Innovation/Partnership

To address this challenge, Demopolis implemented a lightweight predictive indicator tracking process focused on attendance, behavior, and course performance indicators. Using a structured Google Sheets-based system, staff organized student information into a shared format that allowed educators and student success teams to regularly review and identify students who may need support. This approach created a more consistent process for monitoring student risk without requiring a complex technical ecosystem.

Impact

The predictive indicator tracking process helped staff identify students needing support earlier and created more consistency in how student success conversations were conducted across teams. By simplifying access to key student indicators, the school was able to make student risk monitoring more actionable and sustainable.

Strategy Fit

Consider this strategy if your district has:

• Limited technical infrastructure or staffing capacity
• Heavy reliance on spreadsheets or manual student tracking
• Difficulty consistently identifying students needing support
• Inconsistent student success review processes across teams
• Challenges creating sustainable workflows with limited resources

Roadmap

• Identify a small set of high-impact student indicators to monitor
• Create a shared tracking structure for student success teams
• Establish consistent processes for reviewing student data
• Define thresholds or criteria for identifying student risk
• Create recurring team meetings to review student progress
• Use findings to guide early intervention planning and support coordination
