Informational Items
Infinite Campus
This year both new and returning students/families will complete student registration via the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. This can be done for returning families via the Parent Portal app or by using the link that follows https://www.infinitecampus.com/login
The purpose of this process is to ensure that our records are updated with correct addresses/phone numbers. This process will also eliminate the large number of paper forms that parents are asked to complete at the start of each school year!
Parents who do not have an active Parent Portal account in Infinite Campus should us the QR Code or link below to request an activation code.
