User Accounts and Software
A variety of software systems are used to maintain student information, manage instructional tasks, and support student development. Parents and students alike have access to these systems, and parents are encouraged to establish user accounts for each system and reference the library of tutorial videos to learn how to maximize the use of these systems.
Infinite Campus
Infinite Campus (IC) is used to manage student data such as contact information, attendance, grades, and assessment scores. The IC portal requires parents to create a unique individualized user account. Account creation requires an activation key and all parents are sent that key during the fall of their child’s 8th grade year in anticipation of entrance to high school. Parents of transfer students will receive an activation key upon school enrollment. Parents are discouraged from sharing their IC password with their child since the parent account includes privileges unique to the parent’s role. Students have their own IC accounts.
MySchoolBucks
MySchoolBucks is the exclusive system for District 211 parents to make school meal prepayments, as well as make online payments for monetary transactions with the school such as iPad protection plans and repair costs, student parking permits, and more.
Parents can create a free MySchoolBucks account or download the MySchoolBucks app to their mobile device. Please contact the District 211 Food and Nutrition Services department at 847-755-6681 if you have questions about this free service.
