North Penn School District utilizes Infinite Campus for Attendance:
With Infinite Campus, you can report your child out the day of a sick absence. Plus, if you know your child will be out of school ahead of time, you can preschedule the absence.
HOW TO REPORT ABSENCE, TARDINESS, AND/OR EARLY DISMISSAL
Reports must be made by 9:30am. A "Safe at Home" call will be attempted for students who are marked absent by the teacher.
PREFERRED METHOD: Using your Infinite Campus parent app, select “More” then “Absence Request.” Select the checkbox next to the student's name to be included in the Absence Request (multiple students can be selected for a request). Click the dropdown menu under “Excuse” to select the appropriate excuse. (Please note: if you know your child will be out of school ahead of time, you can preschedule the absence using the app.) Here is a short tutorial on Infinite Campus Absence Requests.
If you are unable to utilize Infinite Campus, please call Mrs. Everett at 215-853-1651 or email [email protected]
Due to recent changes in federal regulations, it is imperative that we receive a phone call, note, or e-mail for this absence. To prevent further action, please contact your attendance office as students with 3 unexcused absences will be scheduled for an attendance improvement conference with school officials and students with 6 unexcused absences will be classified as habitually truant.
