Remote Classes

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

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
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

Initializing the Master Schedule

Sometimes, due to changes in the master schedule and student schedules, the class counts may be incorrect, and as a result, need to be re-indexed (initialized) for accuracy. The steps below identify how to do this task:

How-to

1. In the Master Schedule Editor, at the bottom of the screen, click on the "Init" button.
2. Verify the "Year", "District", and "School" selections. Usually these do not need to be changed.
3. The date will default to the current date and this is normally a good selection.
   • The date could be changed if the user wanted to know the counts of classes on a date in the past.
4. Click to place a check mark in the box next to "Realign student schedules to the master schedule".
5. Click the "Start Initialization" button to begin the process. A progress message will be displayed in the blue section of the dialog box.
6. When done, the dialog box will close and the Master Schedule Editor will be refreshed with the updated counts for all classes.

Rearranging the Master Schedule Display (Working with On Screen Lists)

Sometimes it is helpful to rearrange the way Master Schedule data is presented on screen. The user may want to sort data, move columns, "freeze" columns, or hide columns of data. The directions below explain how these screen rearrangements can be done in any listing for WebPams, including the Master Schedule Editor.
