Listed below are links to other available tools for schedulers that may aid when building the schedule for the school year. To use these tools correctly, the trial that satisfies most student requests should be made active.
Tool | Primary Use |
|---|---|
Give a single student a complete schedule or move a student to other section AFTER the school year has started. PRO: Restores schedules for students who have left the school and returned, tracking appropriate start and end dates as needed. CON: Can only be used for one student at a time. | |
Schedules an entire section of students prior to the start of the year. PRO: Adds multiple students who have the same term dates and removes section history when the student was never scheduled. Rosters can be copied from one section to another. CON: Removing a student from a section midyear deletes all corresponding historical data (attendance, grades, etc.). | |
Edits a section roster for students who have left the school or enrolled in the school midyear. PRO: Saves time when a group of students are enrolling in a section or leaving a section as all students can be modified at once (not one at a time as the Walk-In Scheduler does). CON: Only one set of start and end dates can be entered per student roster record. The Walk-In Scheduler must be used to add returning students into the same section. | |
Places students in a course section from one calendar to another. PRO: Does not allow students to be duplicated and does not copy students who have dropped the source course. CON: Only students who are enrolled in the destination calendar are copied. | |
Searches for students who have an empty instructional period on their schedule. PRO: Only populates those open periods with sections that have open seats. CON: Populates all empty periods on a student's schedule, which may not fit with every student's enrollment option (PSEO, part-time, etc.). | |
Assigns or removes rules or placement settings for courses. PRO: Can be used as often as necessary in the preparing of the courses for the next school year. CON: Course sections are built using these constraints and doesn't take into account teacher's schedules. | |
Assigns students to courses based on the team membership. PRO: Copies team assignments from the student's schedule from the active trial into the static team assignment. CON: Only places the student in a course that has the same team assigned to it as is assigned to the student. |
