Follett Aspen Student Information System (SIS) is a student information system that manages data and processes for schools and districts. Aspen SIS helps districts keep administrative tasks simple and out of the way so educators can focus on success. Aspen SIS is accessible to parents and students to help them track and manage their academic journey.

Yes, Follett Aspen^® Student Information System can track attendance and provides attendance visibility to district personnel, guardians, and students.

Yes, Aspen offers tracking for vision, hearing, and body mass index (BMI) screenings, providing a 360-degree view of every student. It also includes an option to build custom modules for whatever data you’re trying to capture. One school district replaced FitnessGram with Aspen.

Aspen offers other health-related benefits, too. It manages immunization compliance and operates as a complete health module – including health visits, medication administration and inventory tracking, the ability to create and monitor student condition records, and more. Nurses can chart within Aspen and manage student appointments.

Yes, Aspen online registration is an optional feature you can add. It makes school registration and re-enrollment easier for parents, saves time for staff, lowers administrative costs, and improves the quality, completeness, and timeliness of student data. Parents can register students online anytime and anywhere, eliminating the need for inconvenient trips to the district office. And since Aspen online registration is part of a seamless platform, real-time enrollment records generate automatically when a student is accepted, so there’s no need to integrate or sync systems or manually move data. We recently integrated online registration into our new mobile platform, making online registration mobile-friendly.

Yes, Aspen can create multiple screens for the same data set, giving everyone from school counselors to nurses to administrators a separate view and templates specific to their role and the information they need. Whether it’s creating a new field set, a custom filter, or a whole new template, IT administrators can modify the end user’s experience.

Aspen provides personalized delivery of data through a range of tools that enable you to leverage real-time data to better understand what each student needs in terms of instruction, intervention, or behavioral support. With these insights, all stakeholders can use time, resources, and dollars more efficiently and effectively to support students and facilitate learning.

There are so many tools out there, and Aspen aims to connect with the tools you want to use. Without question, Aspen is the easiest SIS to integrate and operate.

Aspen provides real-time insights to help you understand and respond to the needs of your students, classes, schools, and district in an effective and timely manner and communicate with everyone who has a stake in each student’s education.

We recognize that time is your most valuable asset. Ultimately, Aspen lets you take care of the things you have to do and gives you more time to do the things you want to do.

With the single, centralized database, data only needs to be entered once as it populates throughout the Aspen platform. The one database approach saves time for every user – including busy front office and IT staff – by eliminating the need for duplicate data entry or data synchronization.

Yes, Aspen supports the entire student. We offer a social-emotional support module that lets teachers, parents, administrators, and students create a social-emotional referral record. School counselors or other health professionals can use those records in conjunction with academic data to monitor students’ progress as they move forward.

Yes. Aspen can help you track student progress through indicators or alerts. Aspen dashboarding and analytics offers a view by individual student, not just by classroom or school. You can look at multiple data points around individual students and provide graphical indicators that the student might be approaching chronic absenteeism or having an issue with discipline based on language. You can also set alert trackers for things like perfect attendance.

Yes, Aspen has a flexible plan framework that lets administrators build custom plans to track any varied data set or a combination of data sets in a single plan. You can also track interventions and student progress, build health plans, and expose portions to teachers through integrated grade books.

Aspen offers total control over data visibility, helping you maintain the safety and security of your data. Access is based on roles, which can be very specific and determine access to tables, rows, and columns.  You can also stack roles to provide users with both counselor and teaching credentials but sequester that data based on the view the user is in.

Yes. We work with Google, Microsoft Azure, and others. Aspen can also be provisioned as the identity provider.

Yes.

Between outstanding customer service and the learning sessions we provide, Aspen support is top-notch. We offer weekly webinars and free biweekly Aspen Answers calls where product management and senior support staff answer questions and help develop custom solutions. You have access to several customer-run community forums as well.

Yes. This is accessible to everyone with Aspen 6.7. or higher.

Yes. Aspen can calculate a grade based on an average standard-based grade or using Marzano’s Power Law.

Yes! We have yet to find a product that we can’t integrate with! Aspen fully supports the IMS Global One roster specification, allowing for real-time integrations with learning management systems like Canvas and Google Classroom, and other third-party tools a district might use. Aspen is flexible, enabling each district to choose the tools that work best for them.

Follett can also build custom RESTful APIs directly within Aspen, and administrators can easily access source code for all the tools used for reporting, state reporting, data imports, and data exchanges via API.

Absolutely! Other districts are already using Google Classroom in an integrated way. Aspen is also compatible with Canvas (just like Follett Destiny^® suite integrates!) and more.

Yes.

Change management is something the Aspen team does very well! Aspen implementation and training are crucial to the success of the software, and our team is committed to your school’s success and ease of use. Every implementation is a unique journey that includes a dedicated configuration person, a relationship person, and a conversion person. All three team members will work with your school for months (or longer) to ensure a smooth transition.

A Follett Aspen Student Information System (SIS) login ID is provided by the district your student attends, and follows the format specified by them. It is most often an email address.

To login to your Follett Aspen Student Information System (SIS) account, go to your district’s URL for Aspen SIS through our School District Login Finder, and enter in the login ID and password provided to you by your district, or your latest password if recently changed.

Resetting your password is controlled by your district. In many cases, selecting “I forgot my password” will be available for you to enter your login ID and email address (which can sometimes be the same value). In remaining cases, please contact your school district’s help desk for assistance, as login access will be controlled by your district and never by Follett Software.

The Follett Aspen Student Information System (SIS) parent portal view is a mobile-accessible version of Aspen SIS. The parent portal provides access to all your student’s academic details, such as attendance, grades, and more. Simply go to your school district’s Aspen SIS URL on your mobile device, and Aspen SIS will present the parent portal once successfully logged in. The parent portal must be enabled by your district to access it.
