Beginning with the 2025-26 school year, Cabarrus County Schools has transitioned from Powerschool to a new student information system, Infinite Campus. The new NC Student Information System provides additional features to help you monitor your child’s educational progress and a mobile-friendly experience that makes it easier to see everything on the go. This system will replace PowerSchool as your one-stop-shop for grades and assignment monitoring, attendance monitoring, tracking graduation progress, and updating contact information.
In advance of next week's Open House events, it is time to claim your Infinite Campus parent portal account. Please note that once your account is activated, you will not be able to see your child's class schedules. You will get additional communication once those schedules are available.
For complete instructions on accessing your Infinite Campus Parent Portal account, please click below:
For questions or to update your contact information in the Student Information System, please contact your child's school.
