I feel relatively confident that most students know how to access
infinite campus to check your grades, but parents may not be as consistently
looking at progress. In part this may be
because they are allowing you to take responsibility for your own learning and watching
as you develop independence while still in high school and part of it is that
your parents are busy and infinite campus can be “out of sight, out of mind”.
Parents, with the first semester coming to a close, I
strongly encourage you to log in to Infinite Campus and check your son or
daughter’s first semester grades. Are
their grades what you had expected? Are
you pleased? Does your son or daughter
need more structure or support to help them develop new skills for studying or
preparing for classes?

and click on the login button in the top right corner. The next screen will ask for the login
information and it provides an option to enter your e-mail address if you do

Please note that your email address must match the one the district has

The online report-cards allows for parents and students to
assess the progress to date. Yet many
times, if the student is struggling to be successful in classes, the students
and parents are not sure what the best steps to pursue for making changes. One of my top suggestions is to talk to the
teachers! Your teachers have a good
perspective on where you stand in their class.
They can help clarify on concepts that you are missing, areas where you
can improve, and they can provide concrete suggestions for how you can make
changes to find success in their classes.
Parent/ Teacher conferences are coming up soon. Conferences will be held on Thursday,
February 7th and Monday, February 11th from 5:00pm – 8:40pm. Each conference will be scheduled in 20
minute time blocks. Conferences allow
parents the chance to learn about your student’s classroom performance from the
teachers, it allows the opportunity for you to ask questions and they provide an
opportunity to build a dialogue with the teachers regarding thoughts and
concerns you might have.
Parents, if you are interested in arranging to meet with one
of your son or daughter’s teachers during conferences, you will be able to do
this beginning Monday, January 26th.
Conferences will be scheduled as people sign up for them, so if you want
to make sure you have times that work well for you, I strongly encourage you to
register right away Monday morning.
