Absence Request (Campus Parent)

The Absence Request tool is part of the Campus Workflow Suite.

Portal: Campus Parent > More > Absence Request

Parents and guardians can use the Absence Request tool to submit a request that informs the office in advance when their student is not going to be in school. After the request is processed, Campus creates an attendance record for the student.
