A:
The Primary and Secondary accounts feature allows administrators to
assign the attendance function from one account to another. This
feature can be used to make taking attendance easier for preschool
teachers with multiple homerooms, teacher's aides, principals with
homeroom students, and for middle school teachers with block
scheduling. For example, if
a school offers several preschool scheduling options (full day, half
day, full week, MWF, etc), then the only way to accurately track those
students' attendance was to break them up into separate
homerooms. With Primary/Secondary, the preschool teacher can have
one 'main' account (primary) and the other homeroom accounts
(secondary) will be linked to the main account. From the primary
account, the teacher will be able to take attendance and order lunch
for
all of the secondary accounts.
Additionally, the accounts that have been flagged as secondary can be
hidden from appearing in the FDmail recipient lists and Planner, thus
reducing confusion for parents or staff. This allows teachers
with multiple accounts to 'hide' their secondary accounts and only log
in under ONE primary account.
