Tangischools uses JCampus for all student information. The Student Progress Center is your connection to that information.
The Student Progress Center of JCampus is your one-stop shop to check on grades, attendance, class schedules, test scores, and important school announcements.
For Students: Simply log in using your school-issued TPSS username and password.
For Parents & Guardians: You will need to create an account USING THE PIN PROVIDED BY YOUR SCHOOL to connect your children and view their progress and school updates. Instructions for registering, along with your child's unique PSN number, will be sent to the guardian email address on file at the start of the school year.
Already have an account? Then you're all set to go! Just connect any new students which may be starting out in Tangi this school year, so that you can view their progress too.
Need help setting up your parent account?
If you do not receive the email containing your pin number within the first week of school, or need a quick hand getting set up once school starts, please contact your school's front office and they'll be happy to help!
Parents can update their contact information in the online SPC or the JCampus Student app. Making sure that phone numbers and email addresses are up to date will help ensure that you receive important information in a timely manner.
Note: School Administrators are still working to finalize records, create class rosters, and schedule classes for the 2026-2027 school year. The system will not be fully available to students and parents until school is in session.
Attending your child's Meet & Greet and Orientation events will help to answer questions, give you the chance to meet your child's teachers, or pick up class schedules.

The Road To Success Begins with a Bus Ride
For those who will catch the bus in the morning or afternoon, we have several useful tools in place which are designed to take the guess work out of the ride.
| | | |
Which Bus will My Child Ride?
Enter your home address and your child's grade into our School Bus Look-Up tool to see your bus number, bus stop location, and estimated morning pickup time.
Our bus drivers are busy making phone calls to all of our families to confirm whether your child will ride, and to double check bus stop locations and arrival times.
| | | |
How Can I Track My Child's Bus?
Parents/guardians may download the Edulog Parent Portal Lite App through their cell phone’s app store to track their child's transportation to and from school.
Download the app. Create an account. Call the school to get the code you need to connect your app to your child's school bus. To protect student privacy, codes will not be shared in public forums.
| |
How Do I Request Special Transportation for my child?
We will begin taking requests for the 2026-2027 school year after Labor Day. An online form will become available on our district website. Until then, please make transportation plans for your child's first weeks of school.

Is it Okay to Post?
TPSS has a Photo Opt-Out Policy for those who would like to request that photos or videos of their child are not posted online. This documentation must officially be kept on record within our student information system. Please print the Photo-Opt out form, complete it, and turn it into the front office of your school. Follow up with your child's teachers, coaches, and club sponsors to ensure that they are aware of your documentation.
We love to showoff our students, while also being mindful of protecting student privacy.

A Strong Start begins with putting the right fuel in our tanks. What will your child eat during the school day?
Our cafeteria team is serving up delicious, nutritious meals every day! Take a look at the menu together with your child to pick out their favorites and get them excited for mealtime.

What's on the Menu?

Does Your Child Have Special Dietary Needs?
We are happy to support all of our students' unique dietary needs so everyone can stay healthy and energized this school year. If your child requires menu modifications or milk substitutes, please have your physician fill out the updated Speciel Diet Request Form and return it to our Child Nutrition Department. Because processing can take 5 business days or more, please send a packed breakfast and lunch for the first week after submitting your form while our cafeteria team gets everything safely set up for your child.

Will your child take prescribed medication or need medical treatment during the school day? Our School Nurses are ready to assist you.
Medication intake sessions for students who require medication and/or medical treatment at school will begin on August 10, 2026. Check our schedule for your school's specific day and time for intake.
