If your student is going to be absent from school, the attendance office must be notified by using the Absent Request Portal located in your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. This is a relatively new portal feature and is the preferred method for reporting a student’s absence.

        1. Log in  to your Infinite Campus Parent Portal account.
        2. Navigate to the Absence Request Portal – Located under the More menu bar or the bottom of the Home Page under Quick Links.
        3. Select the checkbox next to your child’s profile.
        4. Select Full Day, Arriving Late or Leaving Early.
        5. If Arriving Late or Leaving Early select the time.
        6. Select an Absence Excuse.
        7. Leave a short description in the comments.
        8. Submit your request.

Students who know they will be absent for a reason other than a school-sponsored trip or school-sponsored activity must have a parent notify the school using the Absence Request portal. View our Attendance Protocol document which states our attendance expectations for absences.

For more information on how to use the Absent Request Portal, visit this page Absence Request Guide,  or email us at attendance_hs@southeastpolk.org with questions.
