To Report an Absence or Lateness:
New Attendance Reporting Procedure- PLEASE READ
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 Request as well as a Parent Information Guide.
If you are unable to utilize Infinite Campus Parent Portal, please call Mrs. Everett at 215-853-1651 or email

Please refer to the Elementary School Parent Handbook (also available on this website) for the complete NPSD attendance policy. Absences will be marked as excused or unexcused in accordance with NPSD guidelines.
