Infinite Campus

As we approach mid-January, we want to ensure that all parents and guardians are able to monitor their child’s academic progress. One of the best ways to stay informed is by regularly checking your child’s grades in Infinite Campus.

If you have not yet created an Infinite Campus Parent Portal account, please visit

https://320.ncsis.gov/campus/portal/psu320durham.jsp

to set up your login and begin accessing your child’s grades, attendance, and assignments.

Currently, 67.6% of our families are actively using Infinite Campus, and we would love to see that number continue to grow. Your partnership plays a vital role in supporting student success, and staying connected is an important first step.

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to help every student succeed.

National Junior Society Update

Membership in NJHS is a prestigious achievement. The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding middle school-level students. More than just an honor roll based on excellent grades, NJHS serves to honor those students who demonstrate excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1929.

There will be an NJHS Application Information session on Friday, January 23, 2026, from 5 - 6 pm in the auditorium. Eligible students will receive application packets during this meeting.  The application window is from Monday, February 2, 2026, to Wednesday, February 25, 2026. The deadline for all applications is Wednesday, February 25, 2026. Applications may be submitted to Ms. Adams directly or to the main office. Current 7th and 8th-grade eligible students will be invited to apply.

If you have any questions concerning the National Junior Honor Society process, please contact the NJHS advisor, Ms. Jasmine Adams (jasmine_adams@dpsnc.net).

Yearbook pre-sale is open now through March 15, 2026.
