Parent Portal
Mount Vernon City School District is excited to announce our new Student Information System called Infinite Campus and their new Infinite Campus Parent Portal. The Infinite Campus Parent
Portal replaces eSchool Parent Portal (Home Access Center) and provides real-time access to student schedules, grades, contact information, and more.
Please check your email for an activation code to sign up within the first month of school. If you forget your username or password, it can be reset directly by Infinite Campus by clicking on
"Forgot Username" or "Forgot Password." You should now be on the Parent Portal and be able to see your student(s) by clicking "Today" on the left side of the screen.
Infinite Campus also offers a Mobile Portal App for parents. The mobile app can be downloaded through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
For assistance please email: InfiniteCampushelp@mtvernoncsd.org
