User Expectations
CUSD 300 manages student information electronically and uses a secure internet site to enable electronic access to student information. We will make certain student education records are available for viewing only to authorized parents/guardians and students via the secure internet connection. All parents/guardians will comply with the internet use regulations and all technology regulations/procedures, as well as all other District policies that may apply. The School Board supports access by students, parents/guardians, teachers, and administrators to informational resources that will improve participation in a child’s education and improve communication between students, parents/guardians and the student’s teachers.

Rights and Responsibilities
Portal access is a free service offered to all current parents/guardians of the CUSD 300. Access to student information from the internet is a privilege, not a right. Parents/guardians, students, and staff must understand and practice proper and ethical use. Only after a family has enrolled their child (ren) in CUSD 300 will a parent/guardian and/or student be authorized to activate a Portal account. Once a student withdraws, turns 18, or graduates from CUSD 300, Portal access will be inactivated for that student’s parents. Students that turn 18 may give continued access to parents by signing an agreement included in the Parent/Student handbook.

Information Accuracy Responsibilities
Information accuracy is the joint responsibility between schools, parents/guardians, and students. School personnel will make every attempt to ensure information is accurate and complete. If a parent/guardian or student discovers any inaccurate information, they should notify their school registrar immediately and provide proof of the inaccurate information.

Information Accessible
CUSD 300 reserves the right to add, modify or delete functions in the Portal at any time without notice.

Access Agreement
Each parent/guardian must complete and sign an Infinite Campus Parent/Guardian Portal Access Agreement. After verification of information on the form, school personnel will follow the process outlined in this document to establish an account. The completed and signed form will be retained in the cumulative record folder of each student at the school the student is enrolled at.
