School+Tool

To get to the Notes tab for an individual student in School Tool, you must first sign in. Get to the "My Home" page, and then click on the arrow pointing to General Education 3-5, which is the very top category, before your Homeroom or subject areas where you take attendance

Once you get to your class list (which I will not show, due to confidentiality issues), click the arrow for a specific student. Below his/her picture is a menu with the following tabs



The tab furthest to the right is the Notes tab.

The directions below from the School Tool Help menu should help you from this point:

[|Home > My Home] > [|My Home > Student Record] > [|Notes Tab] 1. Click once on the green Add Note button. 2. Select a Note type. There are four (4) types of General Notes: • Global – which, when saved, are available to all schooltool users. • Building Only, Not Passed with Promotion – which become a part of the student’s record only until he/she advances to the next building, and then they are visible only to users whose building rights include the building where the note was originally added. • Building Only, Passed with Promotion – which, when saved, become a part of the student’s record and remain as he/she advances to the next building. • Personal – which are only available to the user that entered the note. 3. Enter the note content in the free-text area. This field will accept up to 1,000 characters.

4. Add any supporting documents by clicking once on the Browse button and locating a file on the hard drive. Files may be any format (Word documents, spreadsheets, HTML, emails, etc), and there is no limit to the number of attachments which may be included. Once a file is located, it must be uploaded to school**tool** in order for it to be saved with this note. 5. Once the Note is saved, the tab will refresh showing the notes in read-only mode. 6. The Notes tab title will turn green to indicate that “new” notes exist on that student’s record. Notes are considered new for a specified number of days after they have been created or modified, as defined by the district.

7. Use the Delete and Edit buttons to remove or make changes to existing notes. ||
 * //Note://** The Notes tab title will turn red when an active Order of Protection note exists, regardless of whether or not new notes exist.
