Student information system and grades

Infinite Campus – Click here to create an account. Parents can us Infinite Campus to keep track of their student’s attendance and grades. Progress reports go home with students about 4.5 weeks into each quarter and report cards go home at the end of each quarter.

Clinic

Our goal is to keep students healthy and thriving and in the classroom ready to learn. Our nurse will answer any questions you have about medication (only adults bring medication of any type to the school), immunizations, activity restrictions, allergies and emergency medications. Any call or text you receive from your student about not feeling well should be redirected to our nurse.

War Eagle Points

Students lose and gain points due to positive and negative consequences for behavior choices. Every student begins with 100 points at each term and consequences such as lose of break time, silent lunch, parent phone call, parent conference or an office referral are assigned if a student loses points. Students who are behaving well will be celebrated with a party at the end of each term. Parents will receive a letter when their student drops below 90 points.
