Creating a Section Alias

Under the Teacher Menu, click on Maintain Teacher Gradebook Category. This is where you will create a section alias for your assigned course/sections.

In Frontline Education SIS, a section alias is an alternative name or label that can be assigned to a particular section of a course or class. This is useful for organizing or clarifying sections, especially when dealing with multiple classes, periods, or grade levels. Teachers may use section aliases to provide a more meaningful or easily identifiable name for a section, making it easier to navigate within the system.

For example, instead of using a generic section name like "Math - Period 1," a teacher might use an alias like "Honors Algebra - Period 1." It doesn’t change the actual course but offers a clearer way to identify that section in the gradebook or other parts of the SIS.

1. In the Gradebook Course/Section tab, select the course/section in the dropdown.
2. In the Section Alias: text box, enter your alternative name or label for the section.
3. Click Save Options

You will now be able to see the Section Alias listed when entering grades or attendance.
