APS LAUNCHES COMPUTER KIOSKS AT
THE TOWN CENTER AT AURORA

APS parents now have access to computer kiosks at the Town Center at Aurora. The kiosks allow parents to view their children’s Parent Portal accounts, find information on the APS Web site, or browse mall shopping opportunities.

The APS Parent Portal is part of the Infinite Campus student information system. The portal is a secure, confidential Web site that allows parents to view current information about their child’s attendance, grades, class assignments and other resources. To access the Parent Portal, parents must request a Parent Portal ID from their child’s school to set up the account.

The computer kiosks are located on the first level of the mall at center court near Guest Services, and on the second level in the food court. The kiosks are a joint venture between Aurora Public Schools and the Town Center at Aurora and are provided as a free service to APS parents and students.

“We know that parental involvement is critical to student achievement. Our computer kiosks will be especially helpful to parents who don’t have home computers,” said Anthony Sturges, APS Chief Operating Officer. “This is one more way we can partner with the community to help students succeed.”

Please join APS parents, students and staff at a ribbon-cutting ceremony and partnership celebration:

5 p.m.

Community partners will celebrate the new computer kiosks and announce the “Cash for Class” school winners. “Cash for Class” allows parents and students to earn points for APS schools by making purchases at any Town Center at Aurora store or by sharing their scholastic achievements. Nine schools with the highest number of points will receive cash awards totaling nearly $13,000.

The celebration will include refreshments, holiday entertainment by APS students and a gift card drawing.
