INFINITE CAMPUS

● Growing system

● Evolution of Education Technology

● Increased Access to information

● Effective + Efficient = Excellence

Why Switch?

● Grade Quick talks to CIMS but not always in the same language

● CIMS runs in DOS…you know the black screen with green letters

● Sometimes information is missing when moved from Grade Quick to CIMS

● Infinite Campus will make our data management more efficient

To login to the Infinite Campus system go tohttps://www.infinitecampus.greece.k12.ny.us

Opening screen includes process inbox, click on homeroom or class session to take attendance from here

● When you click on your class, you will see the roster of students.

● All students are shown as present (P).

● If a student isn’t present, simply click in the A for absent.

● When done, click on save and the report goes to the attendance office.

● If a student arrives late, change to T and re-save.

● When in your rosters, you will notice a comments column.

● Although you can type into the gray boxes, the messages are read by the attendance clerk and will be replaced with notes they have to add to the student record.

● Infinite Campus has been used for 10 years and has never been hacked by a student.

● However, if you forget to logoff and a student sits at your computer, they can manipulate all of your data.

● When not in use, always log off of the website.

● If for some reason you think your grade books have been manipulated by someone other than you, you can use the access log to check.
