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.

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. |
