Infinite Campus is a Student Information System used to collect, store and manage all data related to students in the Jasper County Charter System in grades 3-12. School office staff use Campus to create student schedules, monitor attendance and behavior, and organize student and family data. Teachers use Campus to create assignments, record grades and enter attendance. District staff uses the data in Campus to effectively serve students and communicate with our stockholders.

With the Campus Parent Portal parents can stay up to date on grades, assignments, attendance and much more. To set up a parent portal, please contact Ms. Becky Miller at JCHS.
