Add a staff member

Add a staff member and then enter or edit details, such as contact information, department and date of birth.

Note: Before adding a staff member, perform a search to see if a record for the person already exists. If it does, activate the existing record, rather than create a duplicate.

To add a staff member, and enter or edit details:

  1. Log on to the District, School or Personnel view.
    Note: To add staff members for your school, use the School view.
  1. Click Staff, and then do one of the following:
    • To add a staff member, select Options > Add.
    • To edit a staff member's details, select the staff member, and then click Details.
  2. Enter or edit the information in the fields.

    Notes:

    • To enter ethnicity information for the staff member, click the Ethnicity sub-tab.
    • Values entered in the Next Homeroom and Next Homeroom 2 fields are used to populate the staff member's homerooms for the next school year during the End-of-Year Rollover.
    • Aspen features two address formats – a grid format, and the multiple address format. To use the grid format, see Entering and Viewing Student Details. To use the multiple address format, see Record and Track Student, Staff and Contact Addresses.
  1. Click Save.

To change the fields shown, select a template from the Default Template drop-down at the top right of the page. You can also edit the default Staff Details template.

Note: In addition to the default template, your district may have received templates for state reporting or other purposes. It is recommended that you enter staff information using the side-tabs available from the Staff tab, and not directly on these templates (especially for state reporting). In general, the templates are best for viewing data, not entering it.
