End Of Quarter Report Cards
As we approach the end of the second quarter, please be aware that the “Grades” tab in Infinite Campus will be closed to parents starting on Friday, January 12th and opening again on January 26th after 4:00 PM. Closing the “Grades” tab allows teachers the opportunity to enter student grades and create the progress reports. On January 26th after 4:00 PM, you can access your child’s report card via Infinite Campus. Please note that when reviewing your student’s report card, teacher comments do not show up in the portal when looking at the main Grades screen. They do, however, if you access the DOCUMENTS screen. From there, you can generate a report card in pdf format that will have all the comments. Please feel free to contact the office with any questions. Thank you
