Summary of eSchoolPLUS Admin Mobile App Screens

This topic provides a summary of the eSchoolPLUS Admin Mobile app screens for the Dashboard, Student, Notifications, and Discipline options. The following describes all the screens that display for an option. The user's eSchoolPLUS security determines the options that are available. When a user initially opens the app, the building is set to the default building in the user's eSchoolPLUS security profile.

Dashboard Screens

At the top of the Dashboard screens, calendar information displays for the current day. The app uses the default calendar for the building. To navigate to a screen, swipe up on the icon.

Icon	Screen	Description
N/A	Bell Schedule	Displays the bell schedules for your building.
	Attendance	Displays the Daily Attendance Count and a list of students with an attendance code. The total reflects the count of students with any attendance code entered for the day. The student list displays the unique attendance codes entered for the student for the day. This screen does not reflect the number of periods for which the student has been marked absent. For example, a student's attendance displays as U, T if a student has been recorded as U - Unexcused Absent for first through third period and T - Tardy for fourth period. To see the attendance periods for which a student has attendance entered, tap the student and display the student's Attendance screen.

For more information on adding a referral, refer to "How do I add discipline?" This option is only available if the user has an eSchoolPLUS Staff record, as well as the appropriate security. Additionally, you must be in online mode.

What students will a user be able to access?

The eSchoolPLUS Admin Mobile app includes a student search so the user can find a student who was enrolled in or taking classes at the building. The search will return:

active students currently enrolled in the selected building,
any active or inactive students scheduled in a class in the selected building this year,
any inactive students who withdrew from the building in this school year, but did not transfer to another building. For example, if a student dropped out of school earlier this year, the user will still be able to access the student's information.

To see students who are scheduled for a class, but not enrolled, in the building, you must have security to scheduling information for the building.

Can users access data from prior years for students?

The app supports access to prior year data for Discipline. The student's Discipline screen lists incidents that were reported in the current school year and the prior school year.
The student's current year information is available for schedules, attendance, report card grades, and progress grades.

What grade information is displayed?

The Grades screen displays the grade information shown on the eSchoolPLUS Report Card Summary page for the report card or the Progress Summary page for the progress report.
For the student's report card grades, the eSchoolPLUS Admin Mobile app is displaying grades based on the Report Card View Setup records for the Summary view type. This screen is displaying student mark records; it is not displaying data from the mark reporting data warehouse.
For the student's progress report grades, the eSchoolPLUS Admin Mobile app is displaying grades based on the Progress View Setup records for the Card view type. This screen is displaying student mark records; it is not displaying data from the progress data warehouse.
