Teacher Instructions

Teachers should start by reviewing the [Family Instructions] page. The login/approval procedure and the basic page view and operation is very similar for teachers as for families.

When a teacher logs on and gets to the signup page, they will see only their name at the top. If the teacher has courses in different departments then the department pull-down will be available just as for families.

A teacher has the privilege of being able to mark any timeslot as "Unavailable" or to signup or unsignup ANY family corresponding to the students in that teacher's courses. To facilitate this, the teacher view has an additional pull-down labeled "Current Family:" on the line immediately above the main grid.

When a teacher presses a "Sign Up" button, the current choice from "Current Family" will be signed up for that slot. (The word "Unavailable" is treated as if it were the name of a family.)

When the "Current Family" pull-down is changed, any/all slots for that family are highlighted. At that point clicking on the highlighted name in the slot allows the teacher to remove the family from that slot (after appropriate confirmation in the resulting dialog).

Teachers should be careful to communicate with any families whose signup slots are altered in any way.

Teachers have 2 buttons for displaying schedules, one for viewing their own teacher schedule and one for displaying the schedule for the currently chosen family. This allows teachers to help parents as needed. Simply change the "Current Family" to the family whose schedule you want to display and click on "Display Family Schedule."
