Dear Parents,

SJEA is committed to delivering a world-class educational experience for all of our students and families. We understand that good teaching coupled with parental involvement increases a student’s chances of succeeding in school and in life. With this in mind, we have decided to provide parents with easy access to student information via our new on-line system which is called Infinite Campus or ‘IC’ for short. The Parent Portal portion of the system connects parents/guardians to students’ data at anytime from home, work, public library or anywhere that can establish an internet connection. The Parent Portal is a free service that provides the most current information for student schedules, attendance, courses and grades. We are now pleased to announce that Parent accounts are being offered to all of our SJEA families – Kindergarten through 8th grade.

Parent/guardian Activation Keys and directions are available for pick up in room 406. Distribution hours are listed on our school calendar, however if you are unable to make any of the times posted you may also make an appointment that best suits your schedule. Please read though the information below for additional information. Should you still have questions or if you would like to schedule an appointment, I can be contacted at the following email and phone: cpalos@sanjose.edisonlearning.com / 626.856.1693 x4007.

Thank you for helping us to make a difference in the lives of our students.

In Partnership,
Ms. Claudia Palos
Director of Technology / School Administrator

Please take note of the following changes regarding distribution protocol of Quarterly Progress Reports:

• For students in grades 1 through 5 - printed progress reports will no longer be sent home, this also includes progress reports for SFA
• For students in grades 6-8 - printed progress reports will no longer be mailed home
• Parents/guardians will be responsible for monitoring their child’s quarterly progress via the IC Parent Portal
• The following options are available for those parents/guardians that do not have internet access or are unable to use the Infinite Campus system. If interested in either option, please contact Ms. Palos for additional information.
  • A written request must be made to continue having a printed progress report sent home with child.
  • School computer labs will be made available to parents/guardians before and after school to check their IC Parent Portal account.

Please note the following guidelines for account distribution:

• Only parents/guardians designated with legal rights to student records may receive a Parent Portal account
• Accounts must be picked up in person by the student’s legal parent/guardian
• Parent/guardian must sign a parent AUP (Acceptable User Policy)
• Parent/guardian must show photo identification.
• Parents may not share their account information with their child(ren) or any other unauthorized user.

General Information:

• Parents/guardians will now have the ability of checking their child's progress (grades) at any time throughout the quarter.
• If needed, each parent/guardian may receive his/her own separate account; however each person must still follow the procedures outlined above.
• Each Parent Portal account provides access to information for all children enrolled at SJEA for which the parent/guardian has legal rights. It is not necessary for parents to set up a separate account for each of their children.
• If you have already picked up your account and cannot view information for all of your children, please call or email Ms. Palos.
• Currently students in grades 5-8 have their own personal accounts, and therefore have access to monitor their own grades using the IC Student Portal.
• Students in grades 3 and 4 will receive their personal account, as well as training on how to use the IC Student Portal in the coming weeks.
• At this time, there are no plans to provide students in grades K-2 with their own Student Portal account, but please note that Parents with children in these grade levels will have access to their child’s information via the Parent Portal.
• It is highly recommended that parents/guardians do not rely on using their child’s Student Portal account, as we will continue to open features in the Parent Portal, as well as send notifications that cannot be viewed using the Student Portal.
• Instructions, training and FAQ’s (frequently asked questions) will soon be placed under the Parent Portal link on our school website – www.sanjose-edison.com.
• Please visit our school website frequently for IC announcements and updates!
