Our district not only uses Infinite Campus to notify families of school cancellations/notifications – but we also use the same system to notify our staff as well.
The following directions apply ONLY to West Des Moines staff. Once you’ve updated your information within Campus, it is then sent to the District Registrar who makes the final approval and changes within Campus.
For WDM staff, there are several new reports available through Infinite Campus. The first two reports are available only to classroom teachers – and the remaining reports are available to teachers, nurses, counselors, and esl staff.
If you are using Internet Explorer and receive a Security Warning, ie “Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?” select NO. We’ve found that Internet Explorer isn’t that great at handling these custom reports – Typically, they work much better in Mozilla Firefox or Chrome.
If you really, really want to Internet Explorer for these reports, then we recommend the following settings changes: Go to TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS > SECURITY > Select LOCAL INTRANET and move the Security Level bar to the LOW position. Then click OK, then close Internet Explorer – then you can reopen IE and test it again.
