Scarsdale Public Schools

Today, all K-12 school districts use database systems for managing student information and maintaining student records. Infinite Campus is a district-wide student information system designed to manage attendance, grades, schedules, test scores, and other information about students. The Scarsdale Public School District has used Infinite Campus since April 2006.

The Infinite Campus Portal is a confidential and secure Web site which allows authorized parents/guardians to access school-related information about their children in real-time.

Infinite Campus uses a 32-bit, secure socket layer (SSL) encryption technology to protect information. The technology is similar to that used in other industries such as health care and banking.

The Campus Portal incorporates the highest level of security. Parents and guardians can see only information related to the students they are authorized to view through the use of strong passwords, forced password resets and session timeouts.

Schools create households to which the student belongs, depending on the information provided about parent and guardian rights, living arrangements, etc. Parents and guardians will have access only to the links they have been given permission, to ensure student privacy.

Campus Portal users are forced to use strong passwords. This requires a password that is at least eight characters long, is case sensitive, and is made up of a combination of characters, numbers, and symbols. For more information about strong passwords, click:

Password create at microsoft

Keep your user name and password safe. We advise that you do NOT write down your user name and password, however, we do recommend that you write down a hint which will help you remember your user name and password, but which would not allow anybody else to guess what they are.Do not set your browser to remember your user name and password.For more information, click:

Can I stop my user name and password from being automatically entered into the login area?

If you think someone else knows your user name or password, go to Change Account Information feature in Campus Parent and change your password.

All attempts at logging into the system are recorded and monitored. A full audit trail of when and from where users logged in is tracked. You can view the audit trail for your user account at any time by clicking on the View Access Log link on the left-hand side of the Parent Portal screen.

In addition, the district's administrator may force users to reset their passwords from time to time. By default, the system will automatically end any user session that has been dormant for an extended time.

Three unsuccessful login attempts will disable the Campus Parent user account. In order to use the portal again, parents will need to contact the district to have the account reactivated.

Only parents and guardians designated with legal rights to student records may receive a Campus Portal account. Each parent/guardian with such rights receives their own separate account. Accounts are NOT shared among more than one parent/guardian within households, i.e., there are no "household" accounts in the Portal. Each parent/guardian Portal account provides access to information for those students for which the parent/guardian has legal rights to records.

In spring of 2008, the Scarsdale Middle School piloted the Campus Portal with parents and guardians of incoming sixth grade students. Parents were given access to the Campus Portal to sign their child up for the Middle School music program. Since then, additional functionality was rolled out, for example view-only access to student demographic data, immunization records, and student schedules. In October of 2008, the Scarsdale Middle School expanded the roll out of the Parent Portal to 7th and 8th grade parents. It is anticipated that the District will continue to roll out the Campus Portal to parents of students in other grade levels.

Each Parent Portal user must first agree to the terms of the Parent Portal User Agreement. Within 3 - 5 school days after you have submitted your electronic acceptance of the agreement, the District will provide you with a Parent Portal activation key. You will need this code to setup your own user account for the Parent Portal. Please also refer to the Login Instructions on the Campus Portal Home page in the First Time Users section.

A link to the Login Page of the Campus Portal is located on the Campus Portal Home Page which is accessible from the Scarsdale Public Schools web site.

You may also go directly to the Portal Login screen located at:

https://ic.scarsdaleschools.k12.ny.us/campus/portal/scarsdale.jsp.

We recommend that you “bookmark” this location after you get your account enabled and working. While we advise that you do NOT write down your user name and password, we do recommend that you write down a hint which will help you remember what user name and password you used, but which would not allow anybody else to guess your user name or password.

For example, a parent may have sent a note stating the reason for the absence, but the attendance clerk has not yet updated that information in the system.
