BigSIS overview

What is BigSIS?

BigSIS is a cloud-based school management and student information system which supports multiple modules to help private schools throughout the United States and Canada manage their school activities and processes. With modules for contacts, students, reports and grades, attendance, lead management, volunteer management, and more, BigSIS aims to deliver a comprehensive student information management solution.

The contact management module allows users to store student, parent, alumnus or donor details online for central access, while the student management module helps users track student admissions, enrollments and registrations, as well as create courses and assign grades or written reports. BigSIS’s student reports and grades module allows teachers to write narrative progress reports, while attendance and truancy management features help users set up school truancy rules and track student attendance.

Integrated email capabilities enable users to send emails to segmented groups of people, while leads management and reporting tools allow users to track prospective students online. A volunteer management module, alongside donations and fundraising tools, help users track and manage volunteer activity and track the gifts and pledges made to school campaigns, funds and appeals. Through Authorize.net integration, BigSIS accepts online credit card payments for donations, tuition deposits, application fees, and more.

The BigSIS platform also helps users manage calendars and events, as well as online applications and contracts. All documents are stored securely and can be accessed in the document center. BigSIS supports a number of free features including a multi-page form engine, MailChimp integration, financial management, invoicing, and more.
