Your SIS and Your Website, In Sync
If your school uses FACTS SIS, six of your website's most-updated sections read directly from it. You maintain your data in one place — the system of record you already trust — and your website reflects it.
If your school does not use FACTS SIS, the standalone versions of calendars, announcements, and directories will still work, just without the integration.
Six tools that read from FACTS SIS
Announcements
Post an announcement in FACTS SIS and it appears on your website. No copy-and-paste, no chance the website version says something different.
Calendar
Your school calendar lives in the SIS and displays on your public site. Add a snow day or move a concert once.
Suggestion: If you use Google Calendar, connect it to FACTS SIS instead of the website. This is worth doing deliberately because FACTS SIS connects to the Google Calendar API directly, so your Google events flow in as a continuous stream and then sync through to your website. Connecting Google Calendar to the website side instead relies on repeated requests out to Google, which is less efficient.
The difference matters most if you maintain several calendars or a high volume of Google events. Route your Google calendars into the SIS and let one connection do the work.

Publish a list of administrators, faculty, and staff with the Directory Tool, synced automatically from FACTS SIS.
Profiles
Display profile information for administrators, faculty, and staff with the Profiles Tool, synced automatically from FACTS SIS.
