Homeroom Assignment by Period Page
Use this page to mass assign students to a homeroom based on a course the student is scheduled for. The students processed will be assigned to the room number for the session of the course that the student is in on a given period of the selected cycle day and marking period. You can use this option to set the Primary Homeroom or Secondary Homeroom value.
This option should be run after you have completed scheduling students. If a student is not scheduled for a class during the selected period, a homeroom will not be assigned.
If you need to set the homeroom for next year, you must make sure that your environment is set to the correct school year. If you set the next year homeroom values, your rollover criteria must move the next year homeroom value to the current year homeroom field(s).
If you set the homeroom value in order to distribute report cards and students may have different courses in different classrooms each marking period, you may need to run this option every marking period.
