SIS 2000+ Faculty Editor

Sec. 1, Introduction / Find a Faculty 

Faculty members are defined as teachers, administrators, clerical staff, food service workers, counselors, and any personnel in the school who require access to the SIS 2000+ system. The Faculty Editor is where basic demographic information, such as name, address, status, contacts, and permissions/passwords (security) is entered and maintained. The faculty database is an integral part of the scheduling process in SIS 2000+. Therefore, at minimum, all teachers must be entered into this program and be assigned to the appropriate attendance tracks before any SIS 2000+ scheduling can take place.
