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 now over, I strongly encourage you to log in to Infinite Campus and see your son or daughter’s first semester grades. We do not mail report cards home, so this is the only way to be able to access the report cards.
If parents do not know their username and password, please go to www.worthington.k12.oh.us 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 not know your username and password. Please note that your email address must match the one the district has in your student’s profile. Once you submit your e-mail address, computer services will soon e-mail you with your username and password.
The online report-cards allow parents and students to assess the progress on an ongoing basis. As we begin the second semester this is a great opportunity for parents to ask themselves questions related to your kids grades. Are your son/ daughter's 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? If your student is struggling to be successful 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.
I have finished reviewing all of your grades for the semester and done credit checks for all of my students so that I can be sure you are staying on track. It is still beneficial for you and your parents to keep track of your progress as well.
