As you are all (hopefully) aware by now, this year the district has transitioned over to a new computer system called Infinite Campus. It provides one system that is used for schedules, attendance and grades which will ultimately give consistency to students, parents and teachers. Right now, we are all still learning the system and adjusting to the new program. There are some pieces, such as transcripts that are not yet available online for students and parents to see, but our hope is that it will be online for you within the next month. However, your teachers are updating their grades at least once a week (by Monday's) so that you can check and have an ongoing update on how you are doing in each class. This provides you with the chance to celebrate if you are doing well and to identify what you might need to change if you are not meeting your own expectations for the goals you had set for the year.
Today we are about at the half-way point of the first quarter. Hard to believe, isn't it?!? Last year we stopped sending home interims, but this is the time when you are able to get a good feel for how you are doing in each of your classes. I strongly suggest that you take a look at your grades and make sure you are on track for the quarter.
One challenge for me is that I cannot see the same things that you see when you look at Infinite Campus. I have heard that the program is a bit more difficult to use on the computer, but that for people with smart phones, the free app from Infinite Campus is very easy to use and is a great tool. If you are interested in downloading and using the free Infinite Campus app, you will need to know that the District Code is: YCWTRL
