Aeries Software allows data to be pulled by authorized vendors through the Aeries API to automatically sync with 3rd Party Applications. This eliminates the need for manual CSV transfers or complicated SFTP uploads.


Ellevation connects to Aeries through an API Certificate for the following data types; (Student Demographics, Staff Roster, Student Course Schedules, ELPAC (Initial and Summative), SBAC (ELA and Math). 

All other data types (e.g. benchmark assessments, course grades) will either be imported via manual uploads or
data sharing partnerships with third-party test vendors. The Ellevation Team will work with you to establish a data
import plan and will provide you with relevant documentation for each of these alternate data import pathways. Your Aeries Integrations Team can assist with the automation of any additional data transfers.
