Questions? contact sherriconnors@me.com Thanks for your support! Sponsored by OBPTO.
Infinite Campus Parent Portal- We are beginning to register our parents for
access to Infinite Campus, our student information system. If you have an account for an older student in Ladue you do not need to register. This allows parents to check and update contact information and in the near future you will be able to access your child’s report cards. When your child is in middle and high school you’ll also have access to assignments, grades, and attendance information. Our goal is to have everyone registered by winter break.
Parent Portal Request Form- Request Forms to sign up for the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus are going home with 3rd-4th grade students today. Parents should complete this form and bring it with them to Curriculum Night (you may want to come 10-15 minutes early so you are not late for your classroom teacher’s presentation). You will also need to provide your photo ID to be given a log-in code. Depending upon the number registering there may not be time for everyone to get through the process on this night. Alternative options are stopping by the office during a school day or taking care of it during Parent-Teacher Conferences later this Fall.
