home language

[Wallace, Andrew]

Good morning - I have had a request to share with teachers the home languages of students when they look up a kid in IC. This info no longer shows on the summary screen (or maybe never did, though I thought it used to be there).

In order to help teachers request translators or at least be prepared for a potentially more challenging conversation, we are hoping to find a way to share this info. I am not keen on putting up a flag that says "ELL" for a number of reason (we use too many flags and labelling people these days - or any days - is something I'd rather not do.

Any suggestions?

thanks!

We have ELL students whose Home Language of record is English,

because that's what the parents indicated, and we don't change that.

And kids who've been here long enough that they're no longer ELL

but whose Home (Language) remains other than English.

​And no (more) flags here either; which just means I don't have a solution.

If I look up a student, under Student, General, Summary Tab: no Home primary language.

If I look them up under Census, People, Demographics Tab: I do see Home Primary Language in the summary screen.

Thanks Will - that was my suggested fix, but apparently that's too many clicks...

Teachers shouldn't typically have access to the census tabset anyway...

Seems strange that it was taken off the summary tab.  Best solution would be to start a case with IC and tell 'em to put it back.
