New Year, New Look in IC for Teachers

As hinted during the 2020–21 school year, Infinite Campus has brought a new look and function to the Control Center on Teacher logins. For now, the old look is the default look, but the new look can be turned on (and off) using the Enable slider in the upper-right corner of the Control Center screen:



When you enable to the New Control Center, your screen will change to this:

From the new Control Center look, teachers can quickly view classes and current tasks for their assigned course sections. You can navigate between terms using the arrow buttons at the top right (next). Classes can now have a customized look and icon by clicking the settings icon. From Settings, teachers can also now enable Student Questions as a new direct communication tool between the students and the teacher. 

Last, student attendance sections that still need to be taken are indicated with an orange dot. Click on the orange dot to easily take attendance for all students or see an absence code for those students who are absent and had their attendance called or requested by the parent in advance.

There are a few more features that can be see in this short video by Infinite Campus.

For now, teachers have the choice of turning on or enabling this new Control Center look and features, or go back to the old way. However, in a future update of IC during the next year or so, this new look will become the default look and function moving forward. So now is the perfect time to try it out and get familiar with the new look and features that come with the new look!

Here's to a great new school year from your Infinite Campus Team!
