Rx Pack - Campus.2008

The following corrections are included in Rx Packs for February, March, and April 2020. Rx Packs contain a small number of critical cases to fix urgent issues, with delivery in an immediate time frame (e.g., the fix cannot wait for the next four week Release Pack).

It is recommended that customers apply all subsequent Release Packs immediately following Rx Packs. Doing so will benefit both customers and Infinite Campus when it comes to supporting the patch.

Rx Packs are cumulative; each Rx pack will automatically include all previous Rx packs within that release. These cases will also be included in the Campus.2012 pack unless otherwise noted.

Below is a list of all Rx Packs for Campus.2008 and the date of availability:

  • Rx Pack Campus.2008.15 - Friday, April 10, 2020

COVID-19 Attendance and Calendar Modifications (SIS-136720)

To further assist districts in recording attendance for distance learning, modifications that convert assignment data into actual attendance data have been made:

  • Attendance Codes - A new checkbox was added, called Allow assignment-based attendance modification. When marked on an Attendance Code, the code is made available for selection in Enable Attendance Posting on the Calendar. It is recommended that a new attendance code be created for this purpose, rather than adding the checkbox to a previously created code.
  • Calendar Details - New attributes added in another update for distance learning have been reorganized into a COVID-19 Assignment-Based Attendance section. The following fields are available:
    • Enable Attendance Assignment Insert (previously named COVID-19 Attendance Teacher Only). This indicates that a COVID-19 assignment should be created in every section of an attendance-taking course on an attendance day that it is scheduled in an instructional period. When the related Task runs, assignments are created. Subsequent fields are dependent on this field being checked.
    • Enable Student Assessment (previously named COVID-19 Attendance by Student). This indicates that a quick assessment linked to the assignment created above will be created for students to enter attendance in Campus Student. When the related Task runs, assessments are created. Campus Learning must be enabled for this to happen.
    • Enable Attendance Posting. This indicates that attendance will be posted to the attendance table based on scores and flags in the COVID-19 assignments when the related Task runs.
    • Attendance Posting Date. This indicates the earliest date for which attendance will be posted to the attendance table. Every time the Task runs, attendance from the Start Date forward will be reviewed and updated based on scores and flags in the COVID-19 assignments.
    • Attendance Posting Code. This indicates the Attendance Code that will be posted on the date/period when a COVID-19 assignment has scores or flags that indicate non-participation/absence. The list of codes is populated with the Attendance Codes that are checked marked for Allow assignment-based attendance modification as described above.

Campus Instruction

Recording Attendance for Distance Learning (SIS-136511)
Campus has implemented a stop-gap measure that allows schools who have recently moved to distance learning model to record attendance. This solution allows teachers or students to record attendance through assignments.

To enable this process:

  • Set the calendar attribute to the type of attendance taken, either individually by calendar in System Administration > Calendar > Calendar, or for all calendars in System Administration > Custom > Custom Attribute > Calendar. Options are:
    • COVID-19 Attendance by Teacher Only (available in all districts): teachers record attendance through attendance assignments.
    • COVID-19 Attendance by Student (available in Campus Learning districts only): students can mark their own attendance through attendance assignments. Do not mark this option if your district does not have a Campus Learning license.
  • Open the Task Scheduler in System Administration > Preferences and enable the "COVID-19: Enable Attendance Assignments" job.

When this job is enabled, a grading task called COVID-19 Attendance is added to each course as needed when attendance would normally be taken for the course. The job is run when enabled and every morning and an Attendance assignment is added to the COVID-19 Attendance grading task if the Day is marked as Attendance. These assignments are not included in grade calculations by default.

If attendance is taken by the teacher, a teacher can mark a student as Turned In or give them any score other than 0 to record the student as present, or mark a student as Missing or give them a score of 0 or leave the score blank to record the student as absent. If the attendance is recorded by the student (Campus Learning only), a one-question quick assessment is added to each Attendance assignment, which allows students to mark themselves as present.

An update that converts this assignment data into actual attendance data is forthcoming. Infinite Campus fast-tracked the data collection part of this solution to get it in the hands of teachers as soon as possible.

See the Attendance: COVID-19 page for more information and instructional videos.

Turned In Assignments Added to Flagged Assignments Report (SIS-136525)

Assignments flagged as Turned In can now be included in the Flagged Assignments report. Additionally, a task selector has been added to the extract editor that allows a teacher to limit report results to the selected grading task(s) and standard(s). When tasks are selected, the report generates results from all instances of that task across all sections of the student's schedule, including sections not taught by the user.
