Are You Ready?
New Health Module Functionality
The Health Office Visits tab allows a school to track the time and date a student comes into the health office, when the student left, and why the student was there. From this tab, a district is able to establish a care pathway by documenting complaints, observations, interventions or discharges related to a student’s health office visit. This is to assure consistent and predictable care is offered to all students..

 Hot Topics
Campus Messenger with Voice
The recent release of 2009.2 includes a major enhancement to Campus Messenger with Voice.
If your district decides to purchase Campus Messenger with Voice, powered by ShoutPoint, you will be able to take advantage of several key benefits:
- You can leverage your Infinite Campus data and the system’s integration and not have to deal with data exports to a third-party product – critical in times of an emergency.
- Your district no longer will need to rely on third-party software for emergency notifications, reducing overall technology management expenses.
- Because the system is based on VOIP (voice over Internet protocol) from ShoutPoint, your district will no longer have long distance charges or have to invest in costly hardware.
