The Infinite Campus Parent Portal is a must-have this school year! This is where you will find information such as schedules, attendance, grades, etc. If you have not signed up for the portal, please contact your school’s front office. You will need a link specific to your child to get started in the Portal. New this year: You will be able to report your child's absence through the Parent Portal. To do that, log into the portal, select "More," then "Absence Requests" and "Create Request." Please note that absences cannot be reported after the day of the absence, so be sure to get that in as soon as you know your child will be missing school. |
