The Seating Chart Contact Tracing screen allows users to search for students who are having symptoms of Covid-19 in order to review all students seated near the student in question.
This report displays possible nearby students, which includes all students within a three desk distance from the center of the student in question; however, students can be placed anywhere and opinions as well as seating distances can vary. This report functions as a tool for quickly identifying these students but may not reflect accurate contact information. The report accuracy depends on the accuracy of data in the seating chart(s) and the student schedules.
1. In the Students menu, click Seating Chart Contact Tracing.
2. Enter all applicable search criteria, and click Search.
For more detailed information about conducting a student search, see Searching for Students.
3. To search for all students, leave the Student text box empty and click Search. You can also click the Simple List tab for all students.
The report excludes students whose schedule record has been inactive within the last week or whose student_enrollment record is inactive at the scheduled record school when the report is run.
4. Click the reported Student link to see the student's neighboring students according to the current seating chart.
5. Once a student is selected, you can click Back to Student List to return to your original search results.
The report displays the reported student’s neighboring students in the following columns: Student Name, Student ID, Period Course Chart/Chart Title, and Teacher/Room Name.
The resulting students pull from the current seating chart depending on sort order of the charts if more than one seating chart is used in the class. Sort Order is established via Users > Seating Charts > Charts button > Sort field for administrative users and Attendance > Seating Charts > Charts button > Sort field for teachers.
The resulting students also pull from active administrative Seating Charts. Inactive charts will still show on the report for one week after their end date. The admin seating chart information display as Chart Title and Room Name on the report.
The report displays neighboring students, which are students seated close to the reported student on the primary seating chart for any of the reported student’s classes. Note: Students need to be at least 3 desks away from the primary student to avoid showing on the report. If students are arranged closely, it is possible for two students to return from the same rough direction from the student.
If the same student is a neighbor in two different course periods, the student will have a row for each period.
Neighbors are determined by drawing a circle from the student's position in the seating chart with a radius of 2.33 desks.
