Absence Requests ~ Sign Out Procedures!

If you plan to pick up your child early from school. We ask that you please put in an Absence Request in the Parent Portal of Infinite Campus before picking up your child. Your student will receive an early release pass in order to meet you up at the front entrance within 5 min. of your arrival. When you arrive to pick up your child, please come to the front door with your cell phone. Ms. Jarva or Ms. Shannon will buzz you in and you will scan a QR Code (located on table near front door) that is linked to a Sign-Out Form that you complete while you wait for your child to come down from class. Please note only individuals listed on Infinite Campus (IC) will be allowed to pick up your child. If you need assistance with the parent portal, please contact the Infinite Campus Hotline at (847)-842 3580.
