eSchoolPLUS Integration

Here are the steps for Arkansas school districts to setup student and course data integration.

Arkansas schools and school districts will need to submit a request to the state through the Arkansas Department of Education Division of Elementary and Secondary Education network to enable an API connection with Xello to send over student data.

As per the state's requirements, to request an API connection please submit this form: APSCN: eSchoolPLUS API Requestnew tab

The process to get a new connection setup takes about 10 working days. Once your API connection has been enabled, let your Onboarding Manager know and send your API connection details.

Important note: Districts must request access for their API vendors through APSCN each school year. At the end of each school year, by June 30, the Department of Information Systems (DIS) will disconnect all API connections but the connection will be re-established after receiving a new connection request. If no request is received, the API will remain disconnected. As a result, your Xello accounts will no longer be updated until the connection is re-established with APSCN.

Provide the following information in your APSCN: eSchoolPLUS API Request
