Infinite Campus keeps Adair Co. parents in the know School officials are hoping more parents will do what Nancy and Barney Taylor do: They use Infinite Campus every day. By Alan Reed News from the Adair County School District Parents often complain that they don't know enough about their child's progress in school. This is especially true as students move up into the middle and upper grades. The Adair County School District is now using technology to help parents stay in the know. After securing a password, parents can use their computers or even hand-held devices to log in to "Infinite Campus". Parents will have access to grades, disciplinary actions, and attendance. It is the same software used by teachers and administrators in each school to post their grades and keep up with students. "Parents have real-time access to student information", says Carla Perkins, Technology Coordinator. "Students have mixed emotions. Sometimes they wish parents couldn't check up on them so easily." According to Jane Branham, principal at John Adair Intermediate School, "Parents can constantly know how their child is doing in a class and even e-mail the teacher with questions. If parents would try it, I think they would love it." "We can get in there and look at our daughter's daily grades and make sure she's turning in her assignments", says Nancy Taylor, a Columbia parent who, along with her husband Barney, uses Infinite Campus almost every day. Jason Rector, Technology Specialist, expressed concern that more parents haven't signed up. "It's easy for parents to get connected and it pretty much gives them all they want to know", he said. Around 300 parents are currently using Infinite Campus. Principals are encouraging all parents to sign up for this important tool stating that when parents are involved, student performance tends to increase. Parents or guardians should stop by their child's school to present proof of identification before a password can be issued. This story was posted on 2011-03-24 20:20:36
