Infinite Campus Update
We will be changing how reserve teachers access the system. Each building will have one general building-specific reserve teacher account that all substitute teachers will use. The login information for this account will be shared with building secretaries. Reserve teacher accounts connected to each individual teacher will then be removed from the system.
We are reviewing and updating user groups and removing individual tool rights. All tool rights will be assigned based upon user groups to which staff members belong. In addition to ensuring a higher level of data security, this also allows for efficiency in assigning IC access based upon district roles and assignments. Some changes have already been made. We will be working with Kari from IC in mid-February to continue this work.
