Portals- Getting Connected

Infinite Campus (IC) is a widely used Student Information System (SIS)—a comprehensive software platform designed for K-12 school districts.

It acts as the central hub for managing all essential information about students, staff, and the school system.

The most relevant part for you is the Infinite Campus Parent Portal (or Campus Parent app). This is a secure, real-time communication tool that gives parents and legal guardians direct access to their student's records, including:

• Grades: Up-to-date assignment scores, overall course averages, and final report cards.

• Attendance: Real-time logging of tardiness, absences, and dismissal times.

• Assignments: Lists of current and missing assignments.

• Schedules: The student's daily or semester class schedule.

• Announcements: School and district-wide messages and alerts (e.g., emergency closings).

• Household Information: The ability to review and update contact information and emergency contacts.

Kickboard is a behavior management and school culture platform. Its primary goal is to help schools track, analyze, and reinforce Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), Graduate Profile Aims (GPA) and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS).

Kickboard facilitates a collaborative approach to student behavior and character development.

• Focus on the Positive: Instead of only seeing disciplinary notices (like in a traditional SIS), parents see the specific positive behaviors their child demonstrated (e.g., "showed perseverance on the math problem"). This gives parents something to celebrate and reinforce at home.

• Consistency Between Home & School: Parents can see the character traits (e.g., respect, responsibility) being taught and rewarded at school, allowing them to use the same language and strategies to coach their child at home.

• Early, Focused Intervention: Parents have a detailed, objective data set on behavior, which allows for more productive conversations with teachers or counselors than relying on vague, anecdotal observations.
