Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to come into the building to pick up my student?
No. Simply email the attendance office with the relevant information, and your request will be processed. Your student will meet you at your car at the requested time.
My student isn't feeling well and texted me to pick them up. What should I do?
For safety reasons, please have your student go to the health room first. The nurse or health room para will coordinate with the Attendance Office and notify you when your student is ready to go home.
Can another family member pick up my student?
Only a parent or guardian may authorize a student release and must call or email ahead of time. Anyone listed in your Infinite Campus Emergency Contacts may pick up your student but cannot excuse the absence. Please ensure your Infinite Campus information is current and accurate.
How long do I have to excuse an absence or tardy?
Absences and tardies must be excused within 48 hours by emailing the Attendance Office, excusing via ParentSquare, or calling (719) 234-2643.
How do I know if my student's attendance was updated?
Attendance is updated in Infinite Campus as soon as the Attendance Office receives your message. Log into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal to check your student's record.
My student was marked absent but attended class. What do I do?
Have your student speak with the teacher of that class and ask the teacher to contact the Attendance Office to correct the record.
