Blackboard

Blackboard is the Learning Management System in use within the School District of Waukesha. As more digital resources are used by students in the classroom, Blackboard is particularly well suited at organizing that content to make it meaningful and easily accessible for users.
Blackboard is an incredibly versatile tool that can be used for for posting assignments and information for student/parent access, organizing professional resources, for sharing lesson plans or assessments, for offering self-paced professional development, for communicating key information to an entire staff, or , or for running a face-to-face, hybrid, or virtual classroom.

Parent/Guardian Login to Blackboard
As soon as students have been enrolled into a Blackboard course by the teacher of that course, the student's parents/guardians are also automatically enrolled into that course. Parents are issued a Blackboard login.
Provided a parent/guardian has access to all of his/her children with a single Infinite Campus Portal login, the parent/guardian will also be able to observe all of his/her children in Blackboard. The process for switching which child the parent is observing in Blackboard is outlined here/espanol.
In the event that a parent/guardian cannot see all of his/her children, or in the event that a parent/guardian is not aware of his/her Infinite Campus Portal login information, they should contact the building secretary for the school the child attends.
