Families

Parent involvement is crucial to the continuing success of Cameron Elementary School. Here's a few things parents can do to help the school:
  • If you are available, please volunteer at Cameron or get involved with the parent leadership groups.
  • Make sure that your kids attend school every day. 
  • Be sure that the school has your current working phone numbers.
  • Be sure to set up quiet homework time everyday where kids sit at the table and do all of their assignments and reading with the TV off.
  • Reach out to your kids’ teachers if you have questions or concerns.
Check Your Child's Grades
The Parent Portal is a unique web-based tool that allows you to securely view your child’s grades and attendance online. You can register to receive e-mail or text notifications when your child is absent or when his or her grades drop below a point you identify. Additionally, you will be able to communicate directly with your child’s teachers, enhancing the opportunity for parent-teacher interaction.

  1. Fill out the Parent Account Signup page and agree to the terms of usage at https://parent.cps.k12.il.us 
  2. Link to your child’s school record using your school-issued PIN
  3. View your child’s grades and attendance.
