Infinite Campus A great tool for parents to see how their child is doing in their classes Dos: Have your own access – contact Jennifer Delgado, principal secretary, at 303 -655 -8805 and she will help you. Check only once a week with your child – too much will drive you crazy, too little and you may not be aware of falling grades. Don’ts: Expect teachers to update grades daily, especially when your child turns in late work.
