Term/Semester Transitions: Section Manager

What is the Section Manager?

The Section Manager includes all sections that School Loop has imported from your Student Information System (SIS). This includes sections that you may no longer teach along with new sections assigned to you. The Section Manager allows you to control how you group sections in Course Centers.  Course Centers contain gradebooks, web sites, digital lockers, and give you the tools to work with rosters, produce reports, publish assignments, and more.

How to Access the Section Manager

1. Login to School Loop.

For each section, School Loop shows you the following information (direct from the SIS):

• Period Number
• Course Title from the SIS
• Course ID
• Section ID
• Term Code
• Roster of Students (Current and Dropped)

 

 

In the Section Manager, you can see all of your Course Centers, the
sections they contain, and whether or not you have entered assignments and
grades for those sections. Click on the "View Roster" link to see a list of
student assigned to that section.

Important Notes and Tips About the Section Manager/Course Centers

You can change the Course Center for any section. If you need a new Course Center, please contact School Loop Support with the title of the new Course Center that you would like to request.

You can combine sections and/or move a section of students from one course center to another if you have not entered grades or assignments to that course.

Sections you no longer teach will display rosters as dropped.
