Overall Satisfaction with Infinite Campus
Here at Round Lake High School, and all throughout the Round Lake Area Schools district, we use Infinite Campus mainly for our attendance and grade book needs. Infinite Campus allows us to take accurate attendance at all hours of the day, and the grade book feature lets us input student performance on a daily basis.
- Infinite Campus is great for tracking attendance. The students are listed alphabetically and the user can mark them Present, Absent, or Tardy. Infinite Campus also tracks how many days students have been in school down to the period.
- Infinite Campus is also great for inputting grades. We use a standards-based grading system, so all the assignments are broken down by standards. It really helps the students know what they have mastered and what they still need to improve upon.
- Infinite Campus also does wonders for behavior tracking. When students get a referral, there are many options for the teachers to put from, so the referral goes to the right person and the consequence matches the act. Teachers can also see specifically what happened and how long a student will be out (if they are suspended).
- Infinite Campus could improve on the reports available. The information teachers want on certain reports aren't always available, or they are hard to find.
- Infinite Campus is also missing the ability to add multiple teachers to classes. Some classes have two teachers in the room, but only one teacher shows up on their schedule.
- Infinite Campus should also have an email function to easily contact parents. It would be a lot easier if we could just click on the parents' email address and send an email right from the screen.
- Infinite Campus makes our attendance tracking a lot easier. It is helped us take more accurate attendance, which impacts the number of detentions that are given out on accident.
- Infinite Campus also makes the grading easier to understand, which makes a huge impact for the parents, as they can understand more what their child needs to improve on.
- Infinite Campus makes a big impact on our students as well because they can see their grades more clearly and understand where they stand in the classroom.
Infinite Campus has more features that were needed for our district, like the ability to use a standards-based grading system, and attach students' IEPs directly to their profile. They grading system would have been hard to write on Skyward because they don't have the capability to house that many standards. Also, having the students' IEPs on their profile allows the teacher to reference it as often as they'd like.
