On August 20th, we shared a message with our families regarding new attendance reporting procedures through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. We are happy to report that the transition to the new reporting platform has gone smoothly, and we truly appreciate your patience and cooperation!

We have a few reminders that will help simplify the process for all of you.

1. Please report ALL Absence Requests through the IC Parent Portal including full day absences, late arrivals, leaving early, and Educational Trip Requests.

2. An Absence Reason is REQUIRED when completing the Absence Request. In order for the request to be coded accurately, the reason for the absence must be SPECIFIC. The reason should be entered in the comment section.

2. An Absence Request for an Educational Trip REQUIRES TWO STEPS. The first is the submission of the Absence Request in Infinite Campus. The second is completion of the Educational Trip Form. Your Educational Trip Request CANNOT be approved until BOTH steps are completed.

3. When submitting an Absence Request for leaving early, please indicate the name of the person who will be picking up the student in the comments field. This information is REQUIRED for our security processes.

Thank you for your attention to this important update. We appreciate your cooperation!
