Infinite Campus Tips
Many parents have been calling in to say that either they or their student cannot access Infinite
Campus. Here are some things to consider:
1) Are you using the correct username and password? If you try to log in three times, your
account will automatically be disabled. Please write down your username and password and leave it in a safe place. If you have lost it, please contact Beverly Weinberg.
2) Do you have any outstanding fees? Contact Michele Mansanares in the business/finance
office to find out if this is why your IC is disabled, and to set up payment options.
3) If #1 and #2 are not the issue, please contact Beverly Weinberg. She will need to contact the
district to remedy the problem.
IC is not a planner so it won't show future assignments. All elementary and middle school
students received planners in August (or when they enrolled), and high school students have the
option to purchase planners. Please encourage and work with your child to use the planner to
track assignments.
Thank you.

January Volunteers of the Month
Colette Lottor Colette is a phenomenal person and supports Ms. Miloradivich's class whenever possible, but does so much more outside of the classroom than can be imagined. She is the room mom, and communicates all my needs to the other parents and schedules them for class help as well as event help. She's also taken on a lot of the 4th grade event planning, such as Colonial Day.
Tara Towers Tara is room parent for Mr. Birch's 8th grade science class. She comes every week to coordinate all the other volunteers who help in my class. She also helps with my science curriculum in planning and assessment.
Janine Ledingham Janine Ledingham is the co-coach for the Middle School Speech and Debate Team. Last year was our first year to have the Speech and Debate Team here at TPCA and she didn't hesitate to assist. She is a great asset to the team and does so much to help the team be successful.She comes to all of the practices and gives our teams guidance and instruction to improve their skills. Her assistance is part of the reason why our teams are so successful. Not only is she helpful at practices but is willing to step up at our meets by judging.Janine is a remarkable help with Debate and we are so thankful to have her be a part of our team. |

Reserved Parking | | |
Each month, we select three Volunteers of the Month. One of the perks as Volunteer of the Month is that they are assigned one of the designated Reserved Parking spaces. Although it may be tempting to park in one of these spaces, we ask that you leave them open for the person whose name is on the sign. |
