Info

To create an ELM Form, staff will utilize a Fillable Document Form (FDF) that is embedded directly into Infinite Campus.

  • The form is already connected to individual students, so some fields will be automatically populated.

  • The form can be edited throughout the year, so the information is always up to date without the need to fill out & upload a new form.

    • (warning) NOTE: Even if a student changes schools, the new staff can still see the original form and update it as they monitor the student's progress for the rest of the year.

Tip

TIP for Teachers: Many teachers choose to default their login screen to the Campus Instruction module. In order to add a flag to a student, you must be in the Campus Tools module.

Instructions for switching between these modules can be found here.
