Welcome to the Creative City Connector!  This will be replacing Monday Mailer that we previously had for announcements. We're excited to have one place for families to receive their weekly Creative City updates! 

Report Cards
Report cards for the first trimester are now available on Infinite Campus through the Campus Portal (www.baltimorecityschools.org/campus). Instructions for logging in to Campus Portal for the first time were sent home with progress reports.  If you do not have your log on information, you may contact our office at 443-642-3600.  If you have multiple children, you should see all of their information once you are logged in once. To view the report card, click on "grades" on the left-hand side, and "T1" at the top.  You can switch between children on the top right corner.

In the days before winter break, we will be distributing important materials that your child will be using in class in January and February.  Please plan to come during one of the following times - note the weekend times that are available.  If you ordered Creative City Gear, it will also be available for pick up during these times!
