Infinite Campus Portal

Our new Infinite Campus grade book system does have a mobile app that you can download for free.  It’s called Campus Portal.  Directions are attached.  It does display grade book information differently than the view from desktop computers but it is a convenient way to stay informed of your child’s progress.  Thank you!
