Attention Cove Creek Parents and Guardians: Your student may be left out of the yearbook!

All Cove Creek families need to make sure that they have logged into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal and click "Yes" for the Photo consent form. You can choose "Yes" to allow for all photo consents OR "No" to use your student's picture in social media, but then choose "Yes" for just the yearbook. Some did this at the beginning of the year, but many have not! If you have never logged into the Parent Portal, you can set up an account through this link - https://portalaccess.ncsis.gov/

The Parent Portal will also give you access to other important information, like student grades and attendance. Please make sure this is filled out soon so that your student can be included this year in our amazing yearbook! If you are not sure if you have set up an account or filled out the consent, please contact Ms. Conny in the front office. Thank you!
