[aisle] Destiny question

[Christine Wilson]

These sound like great ideas, but it still doesn't solve the problem of
entering 250 kids one at a time - even with Jennifer's batch update, you
have to designate which students to update. I don't see any way around
that.

But using the User Defined field is great. Our Destiny also re-populates
from Infinite Campus every night, but not those fields. I use them to
differentiate and print barcode lists for students who check out with an
ELL or Reading group rather than their homeroom.
