Schools create households to which the student belongs, depending on the information provided about parent and guardian rights, living arrangements, etc. Parents and guardians will only have access to the students which they have been given permission, to ensure student privacy. Students who have access to the Portal only have access to view their own data. For this reason, we strongly discourage sharing of usernames/passwords.
Accessibility to various modules within the Campus Portal is determined by the school. Therefore, access for one school or building may vary from access for another school. Some tabs and features may not be available for some users.
The Portal is also available as an app for Android, iPhones, iPads and iPad Touch devices. Log into your Campus Portal Parent account to find instructions on how to download the app and configure the appropriate settings.

When a student is selected in the Select Student option, an information section specific to that student will appear above the Family section in the navigation pane. The tabs in the Family section apply to all students to which that user has rights.
