Reporting a Student's Absence:

Parents are required to call in to document their student's absence by 3:00 p.m. on the day the absence occurs. An automated phone call will be sent if a student is absent the first two periods of the day.

Option 1: Utilize Campus Portal - Log in to your Campus Portal, select More and Absence Request. You will need to select the name of the student, identify the type of absence (Full Day, Arrive Late or Leave Early) and the date, and click Submit.
