How useful will BCeSIS be for First Nations schools, if it has been developed for provincial schools?
The basic functions of BCeSIS can apply to First Nations schools as well as provincial schools as all schools need to be able to capture pertinent information regarding students in attendance. While BCeSIS has been designed to accommodate the specific needs of the provincial schools (letter grade orders, reporting, graduation requirements etc.), the First Nations BCeSIS Implementation team (the team) has endeavored to review all of the similarities and potential differences in practices between First Nations schools and provincial schools. Where differences have been identified, the team has recommended mitigating actions or systems enhancements which will assist in the efficient implementation of BCeSIS within First Nations schools.
