Only parents and guardians designated with legal rights to student records may receive a Campus Parent user account. Parents/guardians with such rights can receive their own separate account. Accounts may NOT be shared, i.e., there are no "household" accounts. Each parent/guardian account provides access to information for those students for which the parent/guardian has legal rights to records. Parents and guardians must first agree to the terms of the Campus Portal User Agreement.

Campus Parent and Campus Student ("Campus Portal") are tools developed by Infinite Campus, Inc. for parents/legal guardians ("Guardians") and high school students ("Students") to access online, timely, and secure information and for Guardians to request updates of information about their children. Guardians of Scarsdale Public Schools students and Scarsdale High School Students are provided with their own unique user account for the Campus Portal. By activating a user account, Guardians and Students agree to abide by and support the terms of use and user expectations set forth in this agreement ("Agreement").

SECTION I: USER EXPECTATIONS

The Internet and secure web access have altered the ways that confidential information may be accessed, communicated, and transferred. Those changes are influencing instruction and student learning. The Scarsdale Public School District ("District") supports access by Students, Guardians, teachers, and administrators to informational resources that will improve participation in a child’s education and improve communication between Students, Guardians, teachers, principals, and administrators.

The District manages student information electronically on a secure Internet site. The District will make certain student education data available for viewing over a secure Internet connection only to authorized Guardians and Students. Guardians and Students agree to comply with the terms set forth in this Agreement.

A) Rights and Responsibilities

This access is a free service offered to all current and active Guardians and Students. Access to student information over the Internet is a privilege, not a right. Only after a family has enrolled their child(ren) in the District will a Guardian be authorized to activate a Campus Portal account. Students are provided a Campus Portal account upon starting at the Senior High School. Once a student withdraws or graduates from the District such access will be deactivated. Guardians and Students must understand and practice proper and ethical use.

B) Information Accuracy Responsibilities

Information accuracy is the joint responsibility of District, Guardians, and Students. Each school will make every attempt to ensure information is accurate and complete. If Guardians or Students discover any inaccurate information, they will notify their school immediately, or make a request using the Campus Portal to have the information updated.

C) Accessible Information

The District reserves the right to discontinue the use of the Campus Portal at any time. The District reserves the right to add, modify or delete functions viewed via the Campus Portal at any time without notice, including, but not limited to, the functions listed below:

1. Student Demographic Data
2. Student Schedule
3. Attendance
4. Immunization Records
5. Progress Reports and Report Cards 

D) Campus Portal Access Agreement

By logging into the Campus Portal, Guardians and Students agree to be bound by the Campus Portal Terms & Conditions. The District, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to request that Guardians or Students bring photo identification to the school in order to verify their identity should any question arise concerning the validity of the acceptance of this Agreement.  

E) Use of Campus Portal

Guardians and Students understand and agree to adhere to the following:

1. Act in a responsible, ethical, and legal manner. If you are identified as a security risk, you will be denied access to the site.

2. Not attempt to harm or destroy the school, the District's data, or networks.

3. Not attempt to access information concerning any students other than that of their own child(ren) or any account assigned to another person.

4. Not use the Campus Portal or the District's networks for any illegal activity, including, but not limited to violation of Federal and State Data Privacy laws. Anyone found to be in violation of these laws will be subject to civil and/or criminal prosecution.

5. Notify your school immediately if you identify a security problem within the Campus Portal without demonstrating the problem to anyone else.

6. Not share your password or allow anyone other than yourself to use your Campus Portal account, including your own child(ren).

7. Not set any computer to automatically log in to the Campus Portal.

8. Log out of your Campus Portal user account when you are not at your computer.

F) Security Features

1. Access is made available through a secure Internet site. Account holders are responsible for not sharing their passwords and to properly protect or destroy any printed or electronic documentation generated from or about the Campus Portal site.
2. Three unsuccessful login attempts will disable the user's account. Until the school has verified the assigned user to the locked account, the account will remain locked. In order to use the account again the user will need to contact the District's Information Technology Data Services team.
3. The users will be automatically logged off if they leave their web browser open and inactive for a period of time.
4. Guardian accounts will be permanently deactivated when his/her child(ren) have either withdrawn or graduated from Scarsdale Public Schools, or a court action denies Guardian access to his/her child's information.

G) Limitation of School District Liability

The District will use reasonable measures to protect student information from unauthorized viewing. THE DISTRICT WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE DISTRICT’S SYSTEM OR INTERNET. The District does not promise any particular level or method of access to the Campus Portal for viewing student information. The District will not be responsible for actions taken by Guardians or Students that compromise their student information. The District reserves the right to limit or terminate the Campus Portal for viewing student information without notice. All Guardians who use the Campus Portal to access their child(ren)'s information consent to electronic monitoring and understand that they are granted access to a private network used as an educational tool by the Scarsdale Public School District employees and students. Account activity is electronically recorded.

Please review your child's student data carefully. If you find errors or omissions on the form, please make the corrections by requesting updates through the Parent Portal. For changes to Student Data required for State and Federal Reporting, for example: Birth Country, Birth City/State, Language, or Immigration related data, please email the corrected form to ParentPortal@scarsdaleschools.org or submit it by fax to Student Records at fax # (914) 722-2828.

We ask that you verify data which the State and Federal Education Departments require districts to collect, e.g. birth place, primary home language, immigration related data, ethnicity, and race(s). The main purpose of this reporting is to enable districts to track student performance by sub-group to determine whether different groups of children are making adequate academic progress.

Furthermore, in order to receive funding under the federal Title III, Part A Immigration Education program, states and school districts must collect and report data on "immigrant children and youth." Immigrant children and youth are defined as individuals who:

• are age 3 through 21;
• were not born in any State; and
• have not been attending one or more schools in any one or more States for more than 3 full academic years. The months need not be consecutive.

"State" means the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Children born to U.S. citizens abroad (including those born on military bases), the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, or any other U.S. territory that is not D.C. or Puerto Rico are considered immigrants.

For immigrant students, the NYS Department of Education requires that we report the number of years the student has been enrolled in schools anywhere in the U.S., calculated from the first day the student attended a school in the U.S.

School districts are required to follow standards in collecting student race and ethnicity data using a two-part question. 

First you are asked to indicate whether the student is of Hispanic, Latino, or of Spanish ethnicity which is defined as being of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Central or South American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.

Next you are asked to check (√) one or more races which best describe the student using five racial categories defined as follows: 

• AMERICAN INDIAN OR ALASKA NATIVE: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America), and who maintains tribal affiliation or community attachment.
• ASIAN: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.
• BLACK OR AFRICAN AMERICAN: A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa.
• NATIVE HAWAIIAN OR OTHER PACIFIC ISLANDER: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.
• WHITE: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East.

If the ethnicity/race information requested is not provided on this form on behalf of the student, the registrar at the school or district will be required to identify the category to which he/she appears to belong, identifies with, or is regarded in the community as belonging.

Scarsdale School Board Policy 5500 provides that the District may from time to time disclose directory information from the records of present or former students. Directory information includes the student's name, address, and school attended. The District has received requests from PTAs and the Village of Scarsdale to release directory information for the purpose of mailings and issuing pool passes.

In accordance with School Board Policy 5500 and with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, a parent or student, 18 years of age or older, may refuse to permit the release of directory information. The Superintendent of Schools must be informed in writing by the first day of school by a parent or student, 18 years of age or older, that such directory information, or some part of it, may not be released. A letter must be sent to the Board of Education, 2 Brewster Road, Scarsdale, NY 10583. A copy of School Board Policy 5500 is also available for inspection at that address, or by contacting District Clerk, at 914-721-2410.
