September - Responsibility Week 1 Day 3 Date: 9.20.17, 10.27.17, 11.7.17, 11.28.17, 12.5.17, 12.15.17, 1.5.18 ( throughout the school year) OVERVIEW & PURPOSE -Focus: Why is it important to check our progress in our classes? (O) MATERIALS NEEDED
Ask advisory: Why is it important to check our progress in our classes? Today we will sign into Student Portal and learn/review how to navigate through the portal so you are able to keep track of your progress (grades, scores on specific assignments, missing assignments, upcoming assignments).
Activity: Step 1: Logging In
Log into Student Portal through District Website under “Students” tab, titled Infinite Campus Portal Login.
Why use the website and not the app: The app is rarely up-to-date and does not include all the same features as the web version.
Username-student id number, usually begins with 999 or 100
Password-technology password assigned to them
If needed, student’s username and passwords can both be found under roster technology tab.
Step 2: Creating a HomeScreen Icon
Now we will make a homescreen icon.
Tap the “Share” button
Now tap the “Add to Home Screen” Icon
Now students can find a link on their homescreen to quickly access their Student Portal
Step 3: Using the Portal
On the left you will see a menu option. Tap on “Grades” tab.
Now that we are in the “Grades” tab you will see many features.
Current grades will be shaded in two different colors. Yellow for in-progress and green for final mid-quarter and final quarter grades.
Students should always use the yellow grades to monitor their grades (this will be the grade they will write down on their sheet along with the percent). This grade will change as assignments are recorded by their teachers.
To determine missing or upcoming assignments, click on the individual subjects.
Missing assignments will be indicated in red.
Take notice of the due dates of assignments, points scored (earned by student) and total points.
Step 4: The Advisory Grade Report (O)
We will be competing the Advisory Grade Reports frequently throughout the year.
To complete the Grade Report students complete the following:
1st column: List current elective classes
2nd column: List letter grades for each class
3rd column: List percentage to the nearest tenth
4th column: List goal grade (not wish) for the quarter
5th column: List any missing assignments/tests/projects (must click on specific subject to find)
6th column: Use agenda/planner or the Portal to determine significant (what makes an assignment significant?) upcoming work.
7th column (optional): For students with grades lower than C- have students get those teacher’s signatures.
8th column (optional): For teachers of those classes to write additional comments that might be pertinent to the situation.
Grade reports need to be placed in Student Advisory Binder with the most current grade sheet on top.
Closure Questions (2 minutes):
How does using Student Portal relate to our monthly theme of responsibility?
Transition Throughout the week continue to check your grades on your own and complete any missing or upcoming assignments. Tips (teacher hack)
Only step 4 of this lesson is meant to be repeated throughout the school year
To make grade checks go quicker, set a timer (start with 15 mins, but goal would be 10 mins) on the screen or teacher iPad
Play instrumental music during grade checks to prevent talking. Reminding students that they should ALL be able to hear the music clearly. (student talk delays completion significantly)
Monitor while students are completing grade checks
