Please take a moment to look at your students' Academic Plan. Log in to your Parent Portal to access Infinite Campus. Click Academic Plan. From there, choose Graduation Progress. The first time you access this, it will ask you to select your student's post grad plans and location. Select to the best of your knowledge to continue. You will then be able to see the breakdown of current grade as well as upcoming grades. For a one page document, you can click on the button labeled Course Plan Report to view and print. If your student hasn't chosen classes, have them meet with their counselor immediately.
