There are eight different places to log information about students in Infinite Campus:
- Activites Tracker
- Attendance
- Counseling
- Health
- Special Education
- Personal Learner Plan (PLP) is a generic log
- Behaviors
- Enrollments
Not all logs are accessible to all staff members. Comments put into any of the logs should always be professional; always consider the privacy of the student.
Below are examples of each of those logs with screen shots for each.
1. Activities Tracker
This feature allows schools to track students who are participating in activities or events, both on and off site. These records will remain in each student’s Infinite Campus account indefinitely. Some examples of activities that the tracker will be used for are:
- College Tours
- Field Trips
- Science Fairs
- On-Site Activities
Another benefit of the Activities Tracker tab is that the information entered can be reported using Ad Hoc reporting in Infinite Campus. School staff can submit a work order to have activity log information uploaded for groups of students.
2. Attendance Log
In the Attendance Log comments documenting calls or notes from parents regarding a specific calendar day for a specific student. Documentation of SART, or SARB letters will be generated automatically by IC to the PLP (Personal Learning Plan) log as those letters are generated.
3. Counseling Log
Comments to the counseling log should comments about why changes were made to a schedule or why courses were chosen for the particular student.
4. Health Log
Comments to the health log should be about health conditions such as diabetes, cystic fibrosis, allergies, asthma, etc. All other “office visits” such as playground injuries, student feeling ill, etc. should be noted using the Health Office Visit tab also located within the Health module.
5. Special Education
The only staff who have access to this tab are people who work in the SSS department, and any other person who has the student on their special ed case load i.e., case managers, speech pathologists, teachers.
6. Personal Learner Plan
The PLP is a generic log where comments regarding parent contact, and other general communication can be documented. Specific comments about student behaviors that could be confidential should not be entered here.
7. Behavior Referral Log
This it the place where comments specific to a behavior are to be documented. The origin of these will always be from a Teacher Referral or from a Behavior Referral created by an administrator.
8. Enrollment Log
Enrollment information can be placed in the comments boxes with the enrollments tab under Student Information>General. Comments in these boxes should relate only to the specific enrollment, for instance records requests, or contact with the other school. There should not be any ‘hard’ returns in these boxes.
