How To Setup And Use Parent Portal

We have a goal at Briggs HS that 100% of our families will have active accounts for the Infinite Campus Parent Portal and complete the annual update. Why? The simple answer is that that it helps improve our communication. Keeping your address, phone, numbers, and email up to date helps:

• the teachers the communicate classroom information.
• ensure that you will get all school related informational phone calls from Principal Pam Smith.
• receive attendance calls and information
• ensure that everyone receives newsletters such as this one!
• the school to be able to contact you quickly in the event of an emergency.

Please help us reach our goal!

• Below you will find useful information to access real-time information on your Columbus City Schools student(s), including class schedules, assignments, grades, attendance, and more!

• The video link below provides a brief overview of the Portal and the Mobile App:
