The Infinite Campus Mobile Portal iOS App is now available for those parents and students with a current portal account.

Directions for installing and setting up the app.  If you already have the app installed – and just need the URL code, it is XDXPMJ.

 Once the app has been installed on an Apple® iOS device (iPod Touch®, iPhone®, iPad®), parents and students can access grades, attendance and schedule information virtually anywhere. Parents must have an Infinite Campus Parent Portal account before they are able to view any student information.  If you need a Campus account, please contact your child’s school office.

Campus Mobile Features:

 1) Daily Planner allows students to know exactly when and where they need to be and to see the assignments coming up in each of their classes.

 2) Assignments provides detailed information about what students are, were, or expected to do in each class.

 3) Attendance provides both summary and detail information about absences and tardies.

 4) Grades provides immediate access to the important metrics of success and allows parents and students to “drill down” to the assignments that make up a particular grade.
