The Student Information bar displays on all student pages in eSchoolPlus, for example, Registration's Personal page or Scheduling's Request page.

Overview

Following are brief descriptions of the features on the Student Information bar:

Student Alerts	Enable you to view alerts for the following types of student information, depending on your building's configuration: academic, medical, personal, special education, and custom defined. Clicking an alerts icon displays a window providing specifics on the alert.

Student Navigation Tool

The Student Navigation tool includes the current student's name, arrows for navigating between students, and the current student's identification number. The Expand-Collapse button to the left of the navigation tool displays the Student Detail bar as described below.

You can select the students available for navigation by running a search on the Student Search page (click the Search button either at the top of a student page or next to the Quick Search field). After generating a list and selecting a student, you can view or update the student's information on the current page. You now can use the navigation tool to advance from student to student in the order defined by your search

If you save your search criteria as a favorite, the same set of students will be available whenever you need to work with them. Meanwhile, the current set of students and the related search criteria remain available until you run another search. For additional information on searching for students, refer to Student Search.

Depending on how you selected the current student, you can use the navigation tool to step through a series of students when adding records or updating a page:

• If you used Student Search to select the current set of students, the

  

  Previous Student and

  

  Next Student buttons will access the previous and next students found in your search. The order in which students display depends on the sort order you defined in the search. When you change pages, the current student continues to display for the new page.
• If you used Quick Search to select the current student and the student was not included in your last search results, the Previous and Next buttons will be disabled, in which case they will display in light gray, for example:

  

  .
  However, if the student you selected in Quick Search was among those found in your most recent search, then the buttons remain enabled. This allows you to use Quick Search to return to a student you viewed previously or advance to a student "out of turn" without having to click through a series of students.

If needed, you can view the name and ID of the previous or next student by positioning the pointer over the respective button. For example:

In this case, the next student whose data will display is Andrew T. Adelphia. When you reach the last student found in your search, the

Critical Alert Bar

The Critical Alert bar displays alerts for a student that should be brought to the attention of all users who can access the student's records.

The alert displays as a red bar below the Student Navigation Tool. You also can display the alert's information by positioning the pointer over the message. For example:

If a critical alert is available for a student, the bar displays immediately when you select the student. To close the bar, click the
