New Graduation Reporting Requirements:
New End Status and Diploma Type codes will be available soon in Infinite Campus for reporting new graduation information.

AIM Student Photos Needed:
Please remember to collect the Student Photo Opt-In information from parents as register their students. Then please follow-up with importing students’ photos into Infinite Campus, so the photos in AIM with the Opt-in value can be used by the Department of Justice to help find missing children.
