Student Nicknames in Infinite Campus

Did you know that school secretaries can add nicknames for students in the demographic tab in Infinite Campus? This is particularly helpful when students have given names that are completely different than the names they use with their peers and teachers.

Information about the M: drive for video work

The M: drive is now up and running. If you can't see it or save to it, please make a work order for your technician.

Here are the specifics from Technical Services. Please share this information with others who may find it useful!

Each school has a separate M:\.
The drive will show up as (M:) Media on ...
Staff have full rights to M:\ and subdirectories. Students should have read rights to M:\ and full rights to M:\Students
The space limit will be 2GB for Elementaries, 20GB for Middle Schools, and 50GB for High Schools. This is a work space not an archive! Space will not be increased!
File management is up to the school. Files should be deleted each summer. The end of each semester would be even better.
M:\ will not be backed up.
Only video files will be allowed. Over 300 file extensions have been white-listed. If the file format is not white-listed the user will receive an error on save.
