Attendance Notifications
How to Enable Attendance Notifications on IC Parent Portal in 3 Easy Steps
At the high school level, one of the most helpful ways to use IC is to be aware of your child’s attendance and grades. Following these steps below can help you set up notifications for any attendance related issues or grades. If you already have the app, skip directly to step 3 to check your settings!) This YouTube video shows you how to follow the steps with visuals for each, although it’s for a different school district.
Step 1: Get the App
IMPORTANT! Make sure you download Campus Parent! There are different apps for students, parents, and educators. The App should have a P icon on it to indicate Parents.
Step 2: Enable Push Notifications at Login (for those logging in for the first time)
Open the Campus Parent app on your phone or tablet.
Search for your school district name (Douglas County School District) and state (Colorado), then select your district.
Enter your username and password. IMPORTANT! Your username may be different from your email address as IC sometimes gives new ones that end with @p.dcsdk12.org If you’re struggling to remember your username, consider going to THIS website. You can also consider using the “Reset your Password” link there.
Check the box that says Stay Logged In. (This step is required to allow mobile push notifications)
Tap Log In.
When your phone prompts you to allow notifications from the app, choose Allow.
Step 3: Configure Notification Settings (for those who have the app but didn’t enable notifications OR for those who allowed notifications but want to control which ones.)
Tap the User Menu (the profile or person icon) in the top-right corner of the screen.
Select Settings.
Tap Notification Settings.
Check the boxes for the types of alerts you want to receive (such as Assignment is scored, Grade is updated, or Attendance updated). We strongly suggest having the “Attendance updated” box.
Adjust any specific thresholds. (For example, you can slide the trackers so that you only receive alerts for low assignments like “Alert for any score below a 75%”.)
Tap Save.
Still have issues? It may be with your phone’s settings instead of the app!
Open your phone's main Settings app (outside of Infinite Campus).
Scroll down and tap Notifications or App Management.
Find Campus Parent in your list of apps.
Make sure Allow Notifications is toggled On.
