Dear Families:
We are excited to present to you a new method of reporting student absences in just a few easy steps. Effective immediately, parents and guardians can now use the Absence Request tool in the Campus Portal of Infinite Campus to submit an absence request for one or all student(s) to inform the school office in advance when their student is not going to be in school.
This is available for all Waunakee Community School District schools and all grade levels, 4K-12th grade. This feature can also be done on a desktop computer and a mobile device.
Please click here to view instructions on how to submit a new absence request in the Parent Portal, view absence requests, and how to delete a request.
For questions or help creating a Campus Parent account, please reach out to Julie Gengler, District Registrar, via email. You can also visit our school websites under the Family Tab/Attendance for more information.
Thank you for your participation and cooperation as we roll out this new tool for our families!
Sincerely,
Anne Blackburn
Communications & Engagement Specialist
