Infinite Campus headquartered in Blaine offers their student information system (SIS) to educational institutions, boasting onboarding support, parent and student portal, grade book and academic planner, and access to the platform's inbuilt LMS Campus Learning.Infinite CampusInfinite Campus offers infinite possibilities for use2018-11-14T02:44:01.612ZInfinite Campus is being used across our whole organization for all our teachers and administration. It allows us to have all our grades (transferred from GradPoint) and progress in one program. We then take that data (as administrators) and transfer it into our pacing guides (spreadsheets created by our site director) for all our students. It also allows us to track their progress in getting to and finishing their USA Test Prep for their Milestone/EOC courses and their EOC percentages. As a special education teacher, it is also my portal to GO-IEP for my special education students.
As administrators, we also utilize the reports/student summary/show assignment detail to generate reports for each of our students which correlates with our Course Completion Forms utilized by our counselors.
So as you can see, it is utilized by many departments throughout our organization. A very useful tool, if albeit a bit hard to navigate/find what you're looking for in the gradebook, simply because there is SO much data held there.,It provides all your tracking/progress date in one place. Very comprehensive.
Ability to generate complete and detailed progress reports for each of our students.
Allows our team to utilize the data and transfer it to our own pacing spreadsheets for each group of students we are tracking.
And as a special education teacher, I use it as a portal to my GO-IEP program, which is invaluable.,The Gradebook is just so busy, even though it does contain all the grades/information you need, I find it very hard to find data/information just because of the sheer numbers and drop downs that I have to go through to get to what I want.
Not very user-friendly for first time users - takes many tries and searching around to get to where you want. Gets easier as you use it, but they could attempt to make it more user-friendly for the novice/first time users.
I'd like to see the drop-down menu for the classes broken up into separate folders/files for each group (ie. ELA, Social Studies, Science, Math). Then it wouldn't be just rows and rows of classes that make my eyes run them all together and hard to find the ONE I am looking for.,8,Positive impact: Allows us to keep our pacing guides up to date for weekly meetings and information dissemination.
Positive impact: Allows us to provide our counselors, students, and parents with informative progress reports in a timely manner.
Negative impact: Takes more time away from our other duties when it takes so long to find the data/information I'm looking for amongst all the classes I need to go through just to get to the one I need. They really should look at a better way to arrange/group the drop down menu for the classes.,Gradelink Student Information System,GradPointMichele RoyInfinite Campus offers infinite possibilities for tracking student data2018-11-18T18:27:56.347ZWe use Infinite Campus (IC) in our district to track our students' grades, discipline, communication with parents, attendance, assessment scores on standardized tests, special needs, medical needs, and behavioural needs. Students can check IC daily for their grades, missing assignments, who marked them absent or tardy, if a grade has been entered or a new assignment posted. Teachers enter their grades on IC, send mass communications to parents and students via messenger, check a student's attendance, monitor their needs based on their scores on tests such as ACCESS for ELLs. IC also allows specific students to be flagged according to programs they participate in such as AVID or Pathways, if they have an IEP on file, allergies. It's a one-stop location for students' information. Parents can also access their students grades via the IC portal and can request to receive alerts or updates on their students attendance or missing work.,Great for attendance. Mark a student absent and that night their guardian gets a robocall.
Easy to use for grading. Easy template for students to understand, what has been entered, what is due, what is missing. Nice feature for teachers is that it will generate a missing assignment report for individual students that you can hand out for them to see.
Generates updates for students that sign up to be sent a text message to their phones. Very effective for alerting them that something is missing, or that they have been marked absent. Sometimes after I take attendance, a student decides to come to class, after receiving a text alert I have marked them absent.
Fairly easy to set up the grade book. You can enter weighted categories and control how you weight each quarter or set it up as a semester long grade book. (trickier but still possible) Nice feature lets you turn missing boxes red vs completed ones green so its easy to see trends on individual students.,Sometimes the messenger function gets sticky. It tells me the password is wrong when it isn't and sends me a message to change it, but when I try to change it, I get another message that I need to consult a systems administrator which should not be necessary for a password change.
There used to be a field where I could enter a lengthier description of an assignment. This disappeared this year, and it' too bad because it was a useful feature for parents and for support staff who wanted to help a student complete some work but they really don't know what the project required.
The 5 character field on the brief description is very limiting to me when in my gradebook. I give multiple assignments in a quarter with similar descriptions and 5 characters aren't enough to differentiate them.,9,More effective tracking of students information.
Great tool for students to self monitor.
Has reduced parent inquiries via email as to how a student is doing bc they can see it for themselves.,Barbara DavisBest in Breed SIS2018-11-18T17:32:38.980ZInfinite Campus is a best-in-breed student information system.

It is also commonly used to print reports, seating charts, and rosters. I use it to record students' results on physical fitness testing.,Just when I think I'm getting to know infinite campus well, something else comes up that it is used for. I use it for emailing my parents. It is a great communicator. I am able to send a message to 150 students with a click of the mouse.
I print out a blank roster and will have students record the their scores out in the field, like the mile run, for example.
I print out a grade report and take it to parent conferences.,I always seem to have a hard time setting up infinite campus at the beginning of the school year. Hopefully I will get better so it's not a hassle.,8,I'm not sure about this.,,Infinite Campus, iContact, Facebook for BusinessDelbert Adair
