About Infinite Campus
The Rochester School District has been using a new student
information system this year. Part of the system, Infinite
Campus, allows online access to parents and students. We
are ready to begin this process. We will have on the parent
portal, attendance information, report cards, newsletters,
transportation information, and other items as we get more
comfortable with the product.
Soon you will
be receiving an access code (number) and the URL (which
will be linked from this page) that will allow you
to set up your account. Once the account is setup you
will
just need your login information and a password. (We
suggest your login as last name.firstinitial .) You
can make any
password that is easy for you to remember. Any employee
with children, uses their current login and password,
but a different URL.
What is Infinite Campus?
Today, all K-12 school districts use some sort of
database system for managing student information
and maintaining
their records. Infinite Campus is a district-wide
student information system designed to manage attendance,
grades,
schedules, test scores, and other information about
the students in the SAU 54.
What is the Infinite Campus Parent Portal?
The Parent Portal is a confidential and secure Web
site where you can get current information about
your child's
school attendance and grades.
How secure is the information contained in the Portal?
Infinite Campus uses a 32-bit, secure socket layer
(SSL) encryption technology to protect information.
The technology
is similar to that used in other industries such
as health care and banking.
What information is included in the Parent
Portal? What do I use it for?
When you, as a parent or guardian, log-in you have
access to information about all of the students
for which you
are associated. Class schedules, report cards,
and attendance can be viewed. In addition, schools
post
important information
on the home page, such as events, notices, etc.
Attendance information is also available. The Parent
Portal
allows report cards to be viewed online and printed.
By using the Infinite Campus Online Parent Portal,
SAU
54 provides an online communication tool which can
help you as a parent or guardian stay current with
your student's
progress. From an Internet connection at home, the
workplace or any public library, you can view up-to-date
information
about your student's attendance and grades.
Who can access the Parent Portal?
Only parents and guardians designated with legal rights
to student records may receive a Parent Portal account.
Each parent/guardian with such rights receives their
own separate account. Accounts are NOT shared among
more than one parent/guardian within households, i.e.,
there
are no "household" accounts in the Portal.
Each parent/guardian Portal accounts provides access
to information for any student in which the parent/guardian
has legal rights to records.
When can I access the Parent Portal?
During the fall of 2008, parents and guardians of middle
school, high school students, and elementary school
students may access the portal. The parent
portal won’t be working until after
November 7th.
What exactly is Infinite Campus Student
Portal?
The Student Portal is a confidential and secure Web site where students get current
information about their attendance. They also use the portal to review announcements
and select courses for the next school year.
How do I access the Student Portal?
Each middle and high school student is provided an account
by school staff. Details are provided at each school.
What happens if I forget my ID/password?
Contact your child's school. Designated staff can
help you with your questions following a standard
procedure.
I didn't receive or lost the letter with the
activation key. What should I do?
Contact your child's school. Designated staff
can help you with your questions following a
standard
procedure.
How often is information updated in the Parent/Student
Portal?
Information is updated in real time. However,
the attendance office generally takes anywhere
from
24 to 48 hours
to collect data from various sources to update
the student
attendance record.
Can I access the portal from anywhere (e.g.,
home, work, library, etc.)?

* Vista Disclaimer - Campus supports
Vista with the following warning:
Users should be aware that operating Vista at or below
the Microsoft minimum requirements is likely to cause
performance issues with Campus reporting and application
processes. Vista users should also be aware that third-party
applications may significantly decrease the performance
of web-based applications running in the IE 7 browser
.Campus recommends that Vista users exceed Microsoft’s
minimum requirements and perform extensive performance
testing within the Campus application to determine the
proper hardware configuration needed for desired performance
levels.
Is there a way to view the portal in other languages?
At this time, Campus has provided a Spanish language
version of the portal. While we do realize there are
more languages than Spanish and English spoken among
MMSD student households, the Portal has not been translated
into other languages by the software company.
How do I report problems, comments or suggestions?
If your issue relates to your child's attendance, grades,
or other information please start your inquiry with your
child's teachers, as you normally would. If your comment
or suggestion is general in nature, send an email to
with your full name, your student's name, and the description
of your comment or suggestion.
The link to the parent portal won’t be working
until after November 7th.
