Other Reminders
CTE Courses:
There are two new fields on the Course tab for CTE. Please indicate the CTE Pathway(s) and/or Work Based Learning on all CTE courses. This will aid in your reporting of CTE courses for Perkins and state CTE funding. Contact Justin Willcut CTE/AIM Data Specialist @ (406) 444-4706 or justin.willcut@mt.gov.
Records Transfers:
Requesting and receiving records transfers is important both for Special Education students and to ensure that students' program data is appropriately transferred with the student. For support with records transfers, please contact Shara Blair, SPED/ AIM Data Specialist @ (406) 444-0685 or shara.blair@mt.gov.
New Look in Infinite Campus:
Effective July 2025, the new look in Infinite Campus will be the only option for districts and the classic look will be deprecated. The new Infinite Campus experience contains all the same tools as the classic view and includes several improvements. Learn about the new look: https://kb.infinitecampus.com/help/try-the-new-look-of-campus
AIM Reporting Cohort Data - Date First Entered 9th Grade:
Please ensure all high school students have their Date First Entered 9th Grade field populated under the Graduation Tab. Use the Data Validation Reports in Infinite Campus to assist with data verification. Contact Andy Boehm at (406) 444-0375 or aboehm@mt.gov.
AIM Student Photos Needed:
Please remember to collect the Student Photo Opt-In information from parents as they register their students OR as they update their annual census information. Districts are required to provide information on the repository and information about how to opt-in (20-7-1317, MCA). Once parental consent is obtained, districts must upload the students’ photos into Infinite Campus and set the Opt-In Status to 1: Opt In. Photos are used by the Department of Justice to help find missing children. See our AIM District Student Photo Repository user guide for additional information. We have published a new Validation Report to verify the status within the district: All Photo Repository Opt-In Status.
Updating AIM Contact Information:
Please update your AIM contacts whenever there is a change in AIM staff or AIM contact info at your district or school. Contacts may be designated by role (Superintendent, Clerk, Secretary), school (EL/HS), or responsibility (enrollment, personnel, programs, certification). Instructions may be found on the AIM webpage.
