What to do about Inactive students

This week we had a question come in from Opal Shanks (Jackson R-2):

When I went into therapy log to find the students in question and make sure their IEP’s and Evals were correct, I could not find them in them listed in the student directory in therapy log. They are not showing up.  I now have the following questions: If they were made inactive, would they still show up in therapy log? Is there a chance that they could have deleted from the system when the system was updated?  Is there a place to go and look for inactive students? I believe inactive students used to show up in the student directory, but showed as inactive (there was a “make active” and “make inactive” area to click on). Where do the student’s go if we make them inactive and why can we not see them? Can we get them back?      

Ok, so maybe that's more than "a question", but it all concerns the same topic:  "How do I view my inactive students".  This comes right on the heels of another user who didn't want to see the inactive students in the roster anymore because it was cluttering the view up.  In order to solve both problems, there's a new link on the student roster page for admins that says "See Inactive Students".  This link will toggle the table to show you the inactive students only.  So now you can look at your student roster without getting bogged down by the students that aren't there anymore, but you can still go back and look at the students who used to be there (and make them active again if you want).

If you're an administrator, try it out and tell us what you think!
