⇒ Infinite Campus

Infinite Campus Parent Portal is the platform used to stay up to date with your student’s school activity, and we highly recommend using this tool. Through Infinite Campus, you can request absences for your student (the preferred method), view schedules, grades, attendance, reports, missing assignments, and more. We’ve included a helpful video to assist you in using this powerful tool.

Absent Request: If you are requesting an absence for your student, we ask you to use the Absent Request tool found in your Infinite Campus Parent Portal, whenever possible. This helps verify parent requests, reduces miscommunication, track attendance, helps reduce the amount of phone calls to the front office (not that we don’t love speaking to you), submit absences in advance and more!  Entering absences ahead of time also helps minimize classroom interruptions as teachers can see these requests when taking attendance.  Click here to learn more about attendance expectations and get a step-by-step guide on how to access your Absent Request portal.

Standards Referenced Grading (SRG) is the grading system being used at SEP High School. All courses have identified priority standards within the Infinite Campus gradebook.
