Partner in Your Student's Success: Student Learning Plans
City Schools wants to partner with you to create a roadmap for your students to achieve their goals for the year. This roadmap is referred to as the Student Learning Plan. Within the first few weeks of school, a school staff member should contact you for a welcome conversation. Your responses will be placed in your student’s Student Learning Plan, found in the Infinite Campus - Campus Portal. If you do not hear from your school, please contact them for this very important step.
