Hello everyone,

Infinite Campus has transitioned from being hosted by the State of South Dakota to a cloud-based version. This means there's a new website URL specific to EPJ that you'll need to use for your Campus Parent/Student account. The updated URL is on the school website and also below. Please note that the previous URL will no longer work, so be sure to update any saved bookmarks.
