Classroom (New!)
PATH: Instruction > Classroom
Classroom provides a new section-based paradigm for teachers, compared to the tool-based structure traditionally found in Instruction. When enabled, Classroom collects related tools and presents them within the context of a single section.
In conjunction with the release of Classroom, the Control Center has been renamed to 'Teaching Center' for all users. Additionally, tools in the Instruction menu of the navigation have been rearranged.
In the Classroom view, tools are divided into four tabs. The first tab, Classroom, provides a summary of the section as well as a list of current and upcoming curriculum, with easy access to assignments, resources, and folders, as well as submissions and scoring. The Curriculum tab provides the same curriculum functionality found in tools such as the Grade Book and Planner, where teachers can search, filter, and view their curriculum. The Students tab collects a variety of tools related to classroom administration, such as the Roster, Attendance, and Seating Charts. Finally, the Grades tab collects grading-related tools such as the Grade Book, Post Grades, and the Progress Monitor.
When in the Classroom view, each tool is displayed in the context of that section. Switch sections using the dropdown list at the top, or by using the Home button to return to the Teaching Center (formerly Control Center) and select a different section.
There are two steps to enabling the Classroom view. First, districts must enable Classroom for all students and parents via the Classroom Settings tool. When enabled here, Campus Student and Campus Parent will see the new Classroom view in place of the Course Info tab, accessed throughout the apps by clicking the name of a Course Section. Next, each individual teacher has the option of enabling Classroom using the toggle in the top right corner of the Teaching Center.

A graphic is provided, showing how this data is used to calculate their current billable usage for the year and a pie chart breaks down how much space is being used per area of Infinite Campus.
Preferences that used to be individual tabs are now expandable sections within the tool where you can individually enable or disable document attachment functionality per tool.
