Integrations & Technical
SchoolsPLP is a 1EdTech Contributing Member and a listed Trusted App.
We contribute to the open standards that move student data between districts and vendors, and we’re independently vetted on the 1EdTech Trusted Apps registry for data privacy, security, and interoperability.
SchoolsPLP is built to fit into the systems districts already use. We integrate with the major SIS, LMS, SSO, and academic integrity platforms, and where a native integration isn't available, we facilitate seamless imports of SFTP files from any SIS or application system so onboarding stays clean and predictable.
Current integrations include, but are not limited to, Clever, PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, School Pathways, ClassLink, Google Classroom, Schoology, Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and Turnitin.

Hosting, performance, and supported clients.
SchoolsPLP runs on Amazon Web Services with encrypted storage, daily versioned snapshots, and auto-scaling that absorbs district-wide testing windows without manual intervention.
Our enterprise-level data management system is hosted in the Amazon Web Services cloud, providing encrypted security and effectively limitless expansion.
The production database retains 30 days of daily snapshots. Most data is versioned, allowing inspection of changed history and restoration of specific versions.
Servers scale to any capacity. Database auto-scaling occurs within 5 minutes of system needs approaching the set parameters. AWS cloud servers are load balanced and redundant across the availability zone in which they sit. Throughput is high and can be increased quickly based on current demand. Latency and throughput are continuously monitored, with averages of only a few milliseconds.
Supported devices
SchoolsPLP runs on every major operating system used in schools today.
Minimum recommended screen width of 1024 px. The app remains responsive on smaller screens for read-only access.
Minimum download speed of 1.5 Mbps per concurrent student. Outbound HTTPS (443) only, no special firewall rules required.
