Important Tips
If there are students on your list that are not in your class, notify your building scheduler as soon as possible.
NEVER open more than one (1) session of Infinite Campus at the same time in the same internet browser.
Check the year and school at the top of your screen to verify they are correct.
Do not wait until the last day or two that the grading window is open to enter grades. In the event of issues with Infinite Campus, you will need time to get them resolved.
