Three Cool Infinite Campus Tips

The district's journey with Infinite Campus is well into the eighth year with new features being added on a regular basis. Monthly updates keep the district's Student Information System current with state and federal reporting requirements, and provide new tools for working with student data.

Three newer features of Infinite Campus users are finding helpful include:

A New and Improved View of the Student Schedule


Located at: Student Information/General/Schedule

Notice the red line indicated the class the student is scheduled into at this time and includes the teacher name and room number. Several other schedule views are available by selecting different view options:
  • Day 
  • Week 
  • Agenda 
The Campus Student Profile
Visit the student's Profile page when you are in need of a quick overview of how the student is doing in school.
  • Current grades in progress 
  • Missing Assignments 
  • Absences 
  • Behavior Events (including outstanding detentions) 
The Student Profile, complete with contact information can be generated as a PDF for printing.

Students Are Becoming Pros at Scanning Their Student ID Cards
All Barrington 220 students have been issued one or more student id cards for identification, scanning on and off the bus, purchasing lunch, or checking out a library book. To increase safety BHS students are asked to scan their student ID to enter the building each day. Campus attendants process around 2,800 student scans between 7:40 am and 8:30 am daily.

Recently BHS students began scanning into the Testing Center in place of signing in and out on paper. Scanning stores the date/time in Campus for viewing and reporting. Beginning next week, BHS students will be asked to scan in and out of the Wellness Center, and soon additional scanning stations will be available in the Counseling and Dean's office.

The vision is to continue with the expansion of the scanning options to include:
  • Attendance Office (check in/check out) 
  • Health Office 
  • Counseling Office 
  • Dean's Office 
Note below how one anonymous student appears to only have their student ID about one-third of the time, but this is not the norm. The majority of BHS students enter the building wearing their lanyard and student ID.

Hats off to the Campus Attendants for doing a great job with the new process!
