ReportCard Submission Pipeline

Overview

At the end of each report cycle, school boards are required to submit student report card data to the provincial ministry in a specific XML format. The raw data lives in PowerSchool; the ministry expects a tightly structured XML schema. This pipeline bridges that gap automatically.

What I Built

• Extracted student, assessment, and course data from the SIS using stored procedures
• Transformed it into ministry-compliant XML following the provincial schema specification
• Built validation logic to catch structural and value errors before submission
• Automated the full cycle: extract → transform → validate → submit → log

Impact

The pipeline eliminated a previously manual, error-prone process that took staff several days per cycle. After the first board adopted it, the solution was packaged and used by additional boards, with minimal configuration required per deployment.
