Information update window open for Hardin County Schools families

The window for Hardin County Schools families to update student information through the Infinite Campus parent portal system is open.

HCS Community Relations Specialist John Wright says the district has used the portal system for the last several years.

“This is a great way to cut down on the amount of paperwork that we ask parents to complete near the beginning of the school year,” Wright said. “It streamlines the process. It makes it a whole lot easier. There’s some paperwork that our parents will still have to complete on paper, but this online process makes it a whole lot simpler for everyone.”

The parent portal can be found on the Hardin County Schools website. Getting the portal information updated now will help get the new school year off to a smooth start.

“This is really important because the school needs to have the correct information for each student,” Wright said. “For example, the correct emergency contact information, the correct phone number, or work phone number, or cell phone number for a parent, or maybe a grandparent who may also be able to pick up that child or to serve as an emergency contact for the students.”

Parents who do not have a parent portal log in already set up will need to contact their child’s school to get an initial log in number. Videos with step-by-step instructions on using the portal are available on HCS social media.

“The window closes for that on August 2, so on August 3 be expecting to fill out a lot of paperwork for the beginning of the 24-25 school year,” Wright said.

The first day of class at Hardin County Schools is Wednesday, August 7.
