Come Spring, Menlo-Atherton and the entire Sequoia High School Union district will make a drastic change in the student-teacher relationship. Communicado will no longer be the way to monitor homework, attendance, grade updates and library fines. Instead, Infinite Campus, which serves four million students in 43 states, will enter five more high schools in March.

The highly trusted and esteemed Infinite Campus is far from the Communicado.org which was solely maintained for the Sequoia Union High School District. With Communicado, teachers hardly updated student grades, if at all. Some students were left in limbo, as some teachers using the online SIS (Student Information System) and some recording in their grade books. Infinite Campus will hopefully eliminate the animosity towards online communication which was made frustrating by Communicado.

Infinite Campus has a 99% success rate leading M-A to believe that it will not replicate the failure of Communicado. It creates a very simple interface for updating student information and grading.  It will also provide school and union demographics which is highly beneficial for the administration. Students will now be able to check their grades anywhere, even on their smart phone, so the reminder of that D in English will follow students everywhere. If you end up loving Infinite Campus, you can purchase one of the several hats offered in the online store, a must-see. If you’re not enthusiastic about it, you’re going to have to make it work; Infinite Campus will be here to stay.

   I’m an old student at MA and at my new school we use Infinite Campus and I like it ssoooo much better than Communicado. The teachers at my new school use it a lot more and I find it much more reliable.

   Sooo
   Yay.
