To access the data, you will need an internet connection and access to a web browser. The district’s OnDataSuite Administrator will provide you with the URL.  In most instances it will be https://CCCDDD.ondatasuite.com, (CCCDDD= 6 digit County District number or name)

Example: https://mydistrict.ondatasuite.com  OR  https://000111.ondatasuite.com
