Parents/Guardians, if you have created an Infinite Campus user account in the past, your login will remain the same. If you have not created an account, we highly encourage each individual parent/guardian to do so. Each front office has a short document on how to create an account.

Students, just as in previous years, your username is your student number. New this year is a new password format, which is “<first name initial><last name initial><birthdate MMDDYY>” – therefore, your password should be 2 letters and 6 numbers.
