This link provides instructions for how to post different information into STI (Infinite Campus). For specifics on posting information about ESL students, refer to pages 46-52.

It's important to have as much information about each student as possible, including things like "ESL information." When that sort of information is necessary, the teacher (the way things are right now) has to go through cum folders, ask different instructors or the principal for information, etc. It's a lot of work! What better place to put in all this sort of information than onto an electronic data base that already has a lot of information about the student??
"This is an example of one school’s infinite campus:
I am in Infinite Campus right now in the LEP tab. In it, it lists the
start dates, end dates, and English proficiency. If you click one, it
lists:
English proficiency
Start date
First US English school date, LEP identified date, LEP enrolled date
Bilingual/ESL type (cat, cbe, Poe, sen, etc.)
Instructional accommodations (read text in English, scribe responses, etc. — there are 25 choices with checkboxes)
Assessment accommodations (simplified language, bilingual dictionary, etc. — there are 11 choices and checkboxes)
LEP Test Access (boxes for listening, speaking, reading, writing,
literacy, comprehension, and overall composite scores and date)
LEP Test W-APT (boxes for listening, speaking, reading, writing, and ocerall scores and date)
If your school updates it, it contains a ton of information. As a mainstream teacher, I have access to all of it."
