South Prairie School District is preparing for an important statewide technology transition as part of North Dakota’s BRIDGE Project (Building Reports Informing Data-driven Growth in Education), led by the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction (NDDPI).
Through this initiative, school districts across North Dakota will transition from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus, a modern, unified Student Information System (SIS) launching statewide on July 1, 2026. Infinite Campus is a widely adopted platform for statewide implementations, used by education systems across the country. Including: 11 million students, in over 3,200 school districts, across 46 states, and 10 state education agencies.

Infinite Campus will provide a more modern and streamlined experience for students, parents, and staff, including improvements to:
• Access to grades, attendance, and schedules
• Communication between schools and families
• Overall ease of navigating student information
The new system is designed to create a more consistent and user-friendly experience across all North Dakota schools.
𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐈𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠:
The BRIDGE Project is part of a broader statewide effort to modernize education data systems and better support student success. By moving to a unified platform, districts will benefit from:

South Prairie Middle School proudly celebrated the end of another outstanding school year with our 2nd Annual “Royals of Distinction” Awards Assembly. During the event, students were recognized for their achievements in academics, character, growth, attendance, and for exemplifying our core values of being Respectful, Responsible, and Safe.
We are incredibly proud of our students and the positive impact they have on our school community each day. Throughout the year, they demonstrated perseverance, kindness, integrity, school spirit, and a willingness to support one another both inside and outside the classroom.
As another school year comes to a close, we want our students and families to know how much we have appreciated the opportunity to work with such an outstanding group of young people. It has been a joy watching them grow academically, socially, and personally throughout the year. It is always bitter sweet to see them go for the summer but we always look forward to seeing them grow over the summer before they return next fall.
Thank you to our students, families, staff, and community members for making South Prairie such a special place. We wish everyone a safe, restful, and well-deserved summer break!
Go Royals!
