Infinite Campus Parent Portal Agreement

Campus Parent and Campus Student ("Campus Portal") are tools developed by Infinite Campus, Inc. for parents/legal guardians ("Guardians") and high school students ("Students") to access online, timely, and secure information and for Guardians to request updates of information about their children. Guardians of Chappaqua Central School  Public Schools students and Horace Greeley High School Students are provided with their own unique user account for the Campus Portal. By activating a user account, Guardians and Students agree to abide by and support the terms of use and user expectations set forth in this agreement ("Agreement").

The Internet and secure web access have altered the ways that confidential information may be accessed, communicated, and transferred. Those changes are influencing instruction and student learning. The Chappaqua Central School District ("District") supports access by students, parents/guardians, teachers, and administrators to informational resources that will improve participation in a child’s education and improve communication between students, parents/guardians, teachers, principals, and administrators.

The District manages student information electronically on a secure Internet site. The District will make certain student education data available for viewing over a secure Internet connection only to authorized parents/guardians. Parents/guardians agree to comply with the terms set forth in this Agreement, all technology regulations/procedures, as well as all other District policies that may apply.

A) Rights and Responsibilities

This access is a free service offered to all current and active parents/guardians of the District students. Access to student information over the Internet is a privilege, not a right. Only after a family has enrolled their child(ren) in the District will a parent/guardian be authorized to activate a Campus Parent user account. Once a student withdraws or graduates from the District such access will be deactivated. Parents/guardians and staff must understand and practice proper and ethical use.

B) Information Accuracy Responsibilities

Information accuracy is the joint responsibility of the District, parents/guardians, and students. Each school will make every attempt to ensure information is accurate and complete. If a parent/guardian or student discovers any inaccurate information, they will notify their school immediately.

C) Accessible Information

The District reserves the right to discontinue the use of the Campus Portal at any time. The District reserves the right to add, modify or delete functions viewed via Campus Portal at any time without notice, including, but not limited to, the functions listed below:

•   Attendance

•   Class Schedule

•   Assessments – Regents Exam Scores

•   Family Demographic Information

•   School Calendar

•   Email Address Update

D) Campus Portal Access Agreement

Each Guardian must request their own Portal account. By doing so, Guardians agree to be bound by this Campus Portal User Agreement. The District will verify the information on the User Agreement Form. Upon verification, the District will provide Guardians with their own unique portal activation key for creating a user login and password to view information relating to the child(ren) of the Guardian(s) identified in the current District records. The District, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to request that Guardians or Students bring photo identification to the school in order to verify their identity should any question arise concerning the validity of the acceptance of this Agreement.

E)    Use of the System

All users understand and agree to adhere to the following:

1. Act in a responsible, ethical, and legal manner. If you are identified as a security risk, you will be denied access to the site.
2. Not attempt to harm or destroy the school, the District's data, or networks.
3. Not attempt to access information concerning any students other than that of their own child(ren) or any account assigned to another person.
4. Not use the Campus Portal or the District's networks for any illegal activity, including, but not limited to violation of Federal and State Data Privacy laws. Anyone found to be in violation of these laws will be subject to civil and/or criminal prosecution.
5. Notify their school immediately if you identify a security problem within the Campus Portal without demonstrating the problem to anyone else.
6. Not share their password or allow anyone other than themselves to use their Campus Portal account, including their own child(ren).
7. Not set any computer to automatically log into Campus Portal.
8. Log out of their Campus Portal user account when they are not at their computer.

F)    Security Features

1. Access is made available through a secure Internet site. Account holders are responsible for not sharing their passwords and to properly protect or destroy any printed or electronic documentation generated from or about the Campus Portal site.
2. Three unsuccessful login attempts will disable the user's account. Until the school has verified the assigned user to the locked account, the account will remain locked. In order to use the account again the user will need to contact the District administrative technology team.
3. The users will be automatically logged off if they leave their web browser open and inactive for a period of time.
4. The student’s information may no longer be accessed when the student withdraws or graduates from the Chappaqua Central School District.
5. The parent/guardian account will be permanently deactivated when his/her children have either withdrawn or graduated from the District, or a court action denies the parent/guardian access to his/her child's information.

G) Limitation of School District Liability

This is a private network used for educational purposes and all user account activity is electronically recorded. The District reserves the right to limit or terminate the portal site for viewing student information without notice.
 
The Chappaqua Central School District will use reasonable measures to protect student information from unauthorized viewing. The District will not be responsible for financial obligations arising from unauthorized use of the District’s system or Internet. The District will not be responsible for actions taken by the parent/guardian that would cause a breach in confidentiality of their child’s information.
