Infinite Campus Information

About our Student Information/Parent Portal System

With Infinite Campus, students and parents are able to access information about student schedules, grades, attendance, transportation and fees via the Internet through what is known as the Infinite Campus portal.

Gahanna-Jefferson Schools also uses the Infinite Campus messenger system to communicate with parents for routine messages and emergencies, including school closures, attendance, and behavior issues. Such messages include emails, automated phone calls, and text messages you receive from the district, your school, and even your child’s teacher.

The portal can be accessed from any web browser, as well as through mobile apps that are available for Apple products (iPhones, iPods, iPads) and Android devices. Please note that updates to information should be done through a web browser, not the Infinite Campus mobile app.

Confirming/Updating Your Family Information (Annually)

All parents with students in Grades preK-12 should confirm their contact information on Infinite Campus, including their preferred email addresses and phone numbers, before the start of each school year. This is located in the parent portal in the left hand menu bar title "Online Registration"

After submitting your annual update, you will receive a message in your Infinite Campus inbox after the data has been corrected. Please note that these updates may take several days to verify and approve, so we encourage you to begin this process immediately.

If you do not have an activated account (or if you’ve forgotten your password)

If you have not activated your Infinite Campus account (or have forgotten your password), you must activate one to ensure you receive communication from Gahanna-Jefferson Schools.

To activate a parent account, click the “Infinite Campus Help Desk Ticket” button at the top of this page and fill out the help desk request. Your account will be activated as soon as possible by Gahanna-Jefferson Schools Technology Department personnel. An activation code will be emailed to you, along with other information necessary to set up an account. With that information, you will create an account and password to be able to login.

Update Contact Information

The district uses a messaging system to notify parents of emergencies including school closures, cancellations, and delays. The district will use the contact information present in the Contact Preferences section of the Parent Portal. If information is in the primary email (labeled “Email”) along with Other and Cell phone numbers we will use these methods for General and Emergency communications. If you uncheck these options in your portal they will be reapplied nightly. For more information about Contact Preferences click here for link to messenger information.

Grades

Clicking on the Grades tab will display the in-progress grade for the current quarter (in yellow) as well as the posted (called the “final”) grade for any grading task (including interim marks, semester exams, etc.). These cells are green. Please be aware that the in-progress grades will fluctuate greatly throughout the quarter as teachers enter scores.

Clicking on a specific course will bring up detailed assignment information for the course.

Click on a specific assignment for more detail. Some teachers mark assignments as turned in when they have the work, but haven’t had a chance to grade/record it. Please contact your student’s teacher if you have questions about how they use the grade book.
