Infinite Campus
A great tool for parents to see how their child is doing in their classes
Dos:
Have your own access – contact Jennifer Delgado, principal secretary, at 303-655-8805 and she will help you.
Check only once a week with your child – too much will drive youcrazy, too little and you may not be aware of falling grades.
Don’ts:Expect teachers to update grades daily, especially when your childturns in late work.
