Submit Attendance
You can submit absences directly from your Parent Portal instead of through a separate form, and you can submit for multiple students at once. These are the steps:
First, log into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. (Here are directions!)
Use the shortcut button on the homepage that says Absence Requests, or click on More -> Absence Requests.
Enter:
- The student(s) you are submitting an absence request for
- The reason the student(s) will be absent from the Excuse dropdown list.
- Absence Type — full day, arrive late, or leave early.
- Absence Day and Time. If your student will be gone for at least one full day, enter the first and last day they will not be at school (can be the same day).
- Comments about the reason for the absence.
- Choose the Submit button at bottom when finished!
Previously submitted absence requests can be viewed or deleted using the options at the bottom of the Absence Requests area.
This resource from Infinite Campus explains the process! We hope you enjoy this upgraded absence-submitting experience this school year.
Please refer to District Policy 503 - Student Attendance for detailed information about excused and unexcused absence reasons, responsibilities of students, families and staff, and how the district works to encourage regular school attendance.
A additional option is to call the attendance line or the health office of the school your student attends to leave a voicemail. All phone numbers can be found in the Schools menu.

Coming late
Students arriving late must have parents/guardians call the attendance line or submitting an absence directly from Parent Portal.
Leaving Early
Please inform the school at least two hours prior to the time your student will leave school by either submitting absences directly from Parent Portal or calling your school’s attendance line.
Health Office
If your student is feeling ill, they should go to the Health Office. If they need to be sent home, the Health Office staff will call you.
