Snack Pack (Michigan)

Path: Census > People > Ed-Fi Data

Portable Student Records Service (Snack Pack) provides essential student data to help educational staff efficiently onboard newly enrolled students and identify timely supports. The Snack Pack data reflects the most recent student information CEPI has on file.

A Unique Identification Code (UIC) is required for each new student before using the Snack Pack tool. To locate the UIC for an existing student, use the Get Ed-Fi ID tool. This tool sends the student’s UIC (also known as the State ID or Ed-Fi ID) and displays any student data returned by MDE. The results appear in the Ed-Fi Data Comparison tool.

Screenshot of the Ed-Fi Data page with required configuration and resource selection drop-down lists, an Errors table showing columns for error details and a message indicating no records are available, and action buttons for Compare, Get Ed-Fi JSON, and Resync.

Review synchronization results, compare data, and access Ed-Fi data output for a selected configuration and resource.
