Campus Portal will be replaced with Campus Student and Campus Parent. Your Portal login page URL will stay the same. However, we will be adding two buttons with links to Campus Student and Campus Parent.
What does this mean for the Campus App?
Campus Student and Campus Parent will replace our old app, Campus Mobile Portal. (Those using the old app have seen this message for months: “This app will be retiring soon. Download your new Infinite Campus App: Campus Student or Campus Parent."). Campus Mobile Portal will be removed from the app store June 30, 2019. All app users will need to download Campus Parent or Campus Student.

Drop off/pick up reminder: Please remember that stopping for people in a crosswalk is not only state law but also necessary for the lives and safety of our students, staff, parents, and visitors. Also, drive slowly so that you can see if anyone is stepping out into traffic to stop a child from darting or chasing down a fly-away permission slip. SAFETY FIRST!
