Remote Classes in the Master Schedule

Overview

Remote classes are classes in which students go to other district school (remote) sites to take a class(es). Common examples are Gifted classes offered at another school in the district, or Career/Vocational courses offered at another school in the district.
The primary advantage is that the teacher at the Offering (Host) School sees all students scheduled to the class on one gradebook roster, regardless of what school the students come from.

• The Offering (Host) School first identifies the class(es) that are available to other school sites (see directions below).
• The Sending School then uses the "Remote" feature to bring in the classes from the Offering (Host) school site. Students are then scheduled to the class(es)(see directions below).

How-to: For the Offering (Host) School

1. Locate the section to be offered to other school's students
2. On the row of the section, locate the column labeled REM. Check the box in the column REM on the row of the section to offer to other school's students.
3. Directly to the left of the REM cell is the MREM cell. The MREM cell is for controlling the maximum number of students from each school that will be allowed into the class.
   • Click in the MREM cell and enter a number that represents the number of students from each school allowed into the course.
   • Click the Save button to confirm the maximum remote student count.
4. Click the Refresh button at the bottom of the Master Schedule Editor.
5. The user will now see that the Hosted classes are highlighted in a light red color to indicate that these are available for scheduling students from other school sites.
6. Note: If the Offering (Host) School has specific sections for specific schools, it is a good idea to communicate with the other school sites to indicate which sections are intended for their specific students.
   • Example: Gifted students from the east side of the district will be in hosted class 555001. Gifted students from the west side of the district will be in hosted class 555002.

How-to: For the Sending School

1. At the bottom of the Master Schedule Editor, click the "Remote" button
2. Another screen will appear. On the left are the schools offering courses. Place a check next to the desired school
3. A list of courses the school selected is offering to other schools will appear on the right. Check the section(s) needed.
   • Note: It is a very good idea to check with the host school to verify the correct sections are being chosen.
4. Click the Import button at the bottom of the screen
5. If this is the correct section, Click "Yes" to the question verifying the import
6. Repeat, steps 1 - 5 if other sections from other schools need to be imported, otherwise, click "Close" to return to the Master Schedule Editor
