Important Update: Infinite Campus Payment Method Changes
Niobrara County School District is updating the Infinite Campus payment system. To complete this transition, online payments will be temporarily unavailable beginning Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 4:30 PM. We anticipate payments will be restored the following day, pending completion of the update.
During this upgrade, all Campus Parent, Campus Student, and Employee Self Service users will need to re-enter their payment methods once the system is back online. Any recurring payments you currently have set up will also need to be reassigned to your newly added payment method.
For security reasons, previous payment information cannot be transferred. This is a one-time setup, and there is no cost associated with adding or updating payment methods going forward.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this important update. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the District Office.
