Sign In to Infinite Campus Today
We have implemented a new online student information system, Infinite Campus, to better meet the needs of our staff, students and parents. The Infinite Campus Parent Portal will replace PowerSchool and will provide up-to-date information regarding students' grades, attendance and behavior. It also will serve as a means for delivering important messages or announcements from teachers and administrators. 

Parents can create accounts by downloading the "Campus Parent" app from either the Google Play or Apple app stores and following the on-screen instructions to create your account. Parents can also  visit our website at  baldwincountyschoolsga.org  and click the  "Infinite Campus"  button under the "Parents" tab.  This process will require an activation key that can only be delivered to parents in-person. Parents should stop by their school's front office during regular office hours to get the activation key. 

Students can also use the "Campus Student" app to keep track of their growth and progress. There is no need for an activation key for students as they simply "Log in with Google".

For more information about infinite campus and the parent and student portals, please visit our website at  baldwincountyschoolsga.org  and click the  "Infinite Campus"  button under the "Parents" tab.
