Attendance Procedures

Students are expected to be at school every school day no later than 8:40am and attend every class. If your student will be absent for an excused reason, we need the absence reported by a guardian in Campus Parent Portal.

Steps to Submit Student Absences:

  • Log in to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal on your browser or mobile app.
  • From the Home Page, navigate to the bottom and select Absence Requests.
  • Click the New button at the bottom of the page.

A guardian will not need to come into the school to sign the student in or out. Your student will be using Door 1 (58th and Irving) when they come and go during the day.

  • If your student is coming late, enter the absence in Campus Parent Portal. You can drop your student at Door 1 and we will buzz them in and issue them a pink pass to get into class.
  • If your student is feeling ill during the school day, they should ask to go to the Health Office so they can be evaluated. The nursing staff will communicate with the student's guardians based on the student's needs. Attendance will be handled by the office.
  • If your student is leaving early, enter the absence in Campus Parent Portal. Tell your student to come to the Main Office before school and we will issue a green pass. This process: builds independence, reduces classroom disruptions, and ensures your student is ready for pick up in a timely manner.
