Update!
Blankets are no longer allowed to be brought to school for various safety reasons. If students are seen with a blanket, the blanket will be confiscated and brought to the main office. Students will be able to get the blanket at the end of the day. Students who refuse to turn in a blanket after giving a directive will receive disciplinary consequences.
Parent Guide to Infinite Campus: Self-Serve Options
Keep Your Student’s Information Up to Date
Accurate phone numbers, addresses, emergency contacts, and guardian and relationship details help the school reach your family quickly in an emergency, illness or injury, weather closure, or attendance or safety concern. Current information also helps ensure notices, messages, and records reach the right people—and that only authorized people are listed for student pick-up and contact.
Parents can update address, family contact and relationship information, and additional non-household contacts in the Infinite Campus Parent app. To change your primary household address, bring proof of address—a current electric or water bill—to your student’s school.
Please review your information at the start of each school year and whenever something changes. A visual of these step-by-step instructions is below.
School Leadership Team Update
Tardy Consequences
We believe in students being successful and a pillar of that is students being on time and present for learning.
To support this goal, the School Leadership Team has established clear first period tardy consequences. Our hope is that these guidelines help students develop strong attendance habits while keeping families informed every step of the way.
First Period Tardy Consequences:
- 3 tardies - Verbal warning
- 5 tardies - 1 day in-school suspension (ISS)
- 8 tardies - 2 days in-school suspension (ISS)
- 12 tardies - 3 days in-school suspension (ISS)
- 15 tardies - 1 day out-of-school suspension (OSS)
- 18+ tardies - Administrative discretion
