Parent Portal and CSIA's Goal

We have a goal at CSIA 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 Taylor.
  • the school to be able to contact you quickly in the event of an emergency.


Please help us reach our goal!

WANT TO USE A SMARTPHONE OR TABLET TO ACCESS THE PARENT PORTAL?

There's an app for that!

  1. Download the Infinite Campus PARENT app to your phone. (The STUDENT app is one your student will download when they are older and in middle or high school.)
  2. Type 'Columbus' when it asks for the district then select Columbus City Schools and Ohio for the state.
  3. You are either a NEW USER or an EXISTING USER

If you have never accessed the Parent Portal, you will need an activation key. This was given to you upon enrollment of your student.

Other options are calling FACTLine to obtain your activation key or by sending an email, that includes legal guardian’s/parent’s picture ID and full legal name and birthdate of child to Parent Portal Access.
