Grossmont High School uses two main technology programs to support the success of our students.

1) Infinite Campus - Used to track the attendance, grades and messages for our students. Infinite campus accounts for parents were created when the parent completed online registration.

2) Schoology- Used to post, submit and track assignments. All students have access to Schoology. Parents can email there child's teacher to get an access code. Parents only need one access code from one teacher in order to access Schoology accounts for all of their child's teacher over the entire 4-year's of high school.

3) Talking Points- Used to communicate with parents via text message. Many of our staff use this application to contact parents for appointments. Additionally, messages are received in the families home language. Talking Points is a great tool for Multilingual Families.

4) Google Drive/Gmail- All of our students have access to the Google Suite, including Google Drive and Gmail. Students will use their Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and Forms for class projects. Students should check their school email and set up folders to organize their Google Drive.

Charge your Chromebook and get your backpacks ready! Below are some suggestions on how to get ready for the new school year.
