First introduced to North Carolina Public Schools in 2004, the North Carolina Window on Student Education (NC WISE) integrates all aspects of public school life from the classroom to the central office. Web-based and centrally maintained for capturing, accessing and reporting a wide spectrum of student information, NC WISE replaces the Student Information Management System (SIMS), which North Carolina Public School Systems have used for almost two decades. NC WISE is composed of three basic components: Electronic Student Information System (eSIS) allows individual schools to manage student information Electronic Data Interchange provides the capability to electronically transmit all student instructional records and demographic information between school districts, between schools within a district and to universities and colleges in North Carolina Uniform Education Reporting System (UERS) transfers information from the local school district to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI). Essentially, NC WISE integrates all aspects of public school life from the classroom to the central office. |
