Build: Step 3 - Adding Teachers to a Course Section
You will need to assign a primary teacher to the new sections that have been created. This shows that the teacher is attached to the course to take attendance, enter grades, and have their name show up in the Classroom Monitor.
Adding a Primary Teacher to a Section
Select the next school year. (Remember to change the year back when completing current year tasks)
Click the Search tab and select Course/Section from the drop-down menu.
Enter the course number in the search field and click Go.
Click on the name of the course in the Search results to access the sections.
Click on the section needing a teacher added.
Click Staff History.
Click New Primary Teacher.
In the Staff History Detail window, use the drop-down menu to select the teacher. If the teacher is not listed, put in a Campus Support Ticket to request that they be added to your building. Please keep in mind the Infinite Campus team will not be able to add a teacher to your building until they have been added to Munis by HR.
Use the drop-down menu to select the District Assignment (there should only be one choice)
Add a start date if applicable. If the teacher is being added before school begins, a Start Date is not needed.
You should now see a Save option at the top of the Staff History screen. Click Save.
Special Note: Changing a Primary Teacher (After 1st day of School) - Once school has started, it is imperative that the current teacher be end dated before adding a new teacher assignment. Do not delete the teacher. Add the new teacher with a start date and the old teacher will be end dated one day prior to the new teachers start date.
Adding Additional Staff Members to a Section
There are also staff members (teachers, IA’s, Tutors, SPED staff, Specialists, etc.) that will need to be added to certain courses to receive the ability to enter information for a student in the course. For example, a Unified Arts Teacher would be added as a secondary teacher to the Work & Social Behavior course so that they can add grades.
On the Staff History tab, besides the New Primary Teacher button, there are two additional options to add staff.
The New Teacher button gives any staff member who is added to the section edit access. They can add grades and comments. The New Section Staff button gives any staff member who is added to the section READ ONLY ACCESS. They are NOT able to change or modify any information for this course.
Who should be added:
Art, Music, and Physical Education teachers need to be added to the Work and Social Behavior course sections as a New Teacher.
Staff for the Educational Access course.
Your Building Principal should be added as the New Primary Teacher for the No Show, Located Not Attending, and the Unable to Locate courses.
You do NOT need to add a teacher to blocker courses.
