This article explains how to connect Sparx Maths to your school's Management Information System (MIS) and what to do if you change MIS providers.
Sparx Maths uses Wonde to securely connect to your school's MIS, ensuring your class and student data stays up to date automatically.
Setting Up Your MIS Connection
Initial Connection
Initial Connection
Wonde will send your Network Manager an authorisation request
Your Network Manager needs to approve this request to allow the connection
Once approved, Wonde will begin syncing data between your MIS and Sparx Maths
What Happens After Connection
What Happens After Connection
Wonde syncs with your MIS approximately every 4 hours
Sparx Maths then syncs with Wonde automatically every night
Changes made in your MIS will typically be reflected in Sparx Maths within 24 hours
Changing MIS Providers
My school is migrating from one MIS to another
My school is migrating from one MIS to another
If your school changes MIS providers, follow these steps:
Notify Wonde by emailing [email protected] about your planned migration
Wonde will ensure your new MIS is connected correctly, and let Sparx know once it is complete
Sparx will:
Temporarily pause your nightly sync
Check the new data to ensure student records and classes match
Perform a manual sync once everything looks correct
Turn the nightly auto sync back on
Important Notes
You may need to wait a few days after migration for everything to return to normal
New students or class changes made in your MIS during this time might not be reflected immediately in Sparx Maths
The migration process is handled carefully to ensure no data is lost
