Please remember the following guidelines when you access your Infinite Campus portal:

• Be careful not to overreact. The information that is posted online shows only those assignments  that have been recorded so far. Ongoing assessments may raise or lower a grade prior to the  conclusion of the grading period. 
• Different courses and instructors have varying systems for evaluating work, calculating and  reporting grades. This information will be communicated at Open House and through the course  syllabus and policies posted on the teacher’s website.  
• Online updates will vary from class to class. All online grades will be up to date at mid-quarter  and at the end of each marking period. Check Schoology for the most up-to-date grades for your student. Grades in Infinite Campus will update on a nightly basis.

Logon and user instructions

• Use the username and password you created for your account. If you have not created an account or do not remember your login, email dhsportal@dist113.org (for Deerfield) or hphsportal@dist113.org (for Highland Park); Students will login differently with the EAS & Student Login button
• Navigate between tools in the menu on the left.  On mobile devices, this menu shrinks to a “hamburger” or “three bars” icon to save space
