Creating an English Learner Monitoring Form
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.
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 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.

Start Date is an optional feature. Entering a Start date prevents the form from being visible on the portal until the date and time entered has passed. You must first remove the Start Date to unlock and edit a form with a future start date. The unlock button will appear once the start date is removed and saved. |
