Failing and Missing Grades Notification

We are pleased to announce a couple of new capabilities for our parents using the Infinite Campus Parent Portal regarding student failing and missing grades.
  • Starting at the beginning of the 3rd Six Weeks (Monday, November 17) parents will receive e-mail notifications anytime a teacher places a failing grade (69 or below) in the electronic gradebook.
  • Coming soon will be the capability for parents to receive similar e-mail notifications for missing work.
These notices will go directly to you instead of you having to log in and check for failing or missing grades.

These additions to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal are a part of our ongoing effort to provide parents with more (and more timely) information regarding student performance. We are committed to engaging parents in the academic process and hope you find these features helpful.

Parents, if you are not using Infinite Campus yet and would like to, please contact your student's school to get your Activation Key (GUID). Also, as a reminder, most of the questions and problems concerning Infinite Campus can be handled at the campus.

Students remind us to vote

Mary Orr Intermediate School took an opportunity during Red Ribbon Week to gather outside on a beautiful day to create another reminder to all Americans to exercise their rights and vote.
