Attendance Reminders

If your student is going to be absent from school, the attendance office must be notified by using the Absent Request Portal located in your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. This is the preferred method for reporting a student’s absence.

How to access the Parent Infinite Campus Absent Request Portal (Instructions)

            1. Log into Infinite Campus > Select More > Absence Request. It’s also located on your Infinite Campus home screen under Quick Links.
            2. The Infinite Campus portal is accessible from a computer or through the mobile app.
            3. View our Attendance Protocol document which states our attendance expectations for absences.

Student Drivers Permits

After the student has completed Driver Education, begin in the High School front office where we have the DOT forms.  Email or bring the student’s current permit to the office & we will start the form for you along with a letter.  Do this before going to the DOT.


Driver Education

Driver education classes held at SE Polk High School in November and December. Students, guardians or parents may register online at www.StreetSmartsDriversEd.com or they may call our office to register over the phone at 515-279-1112.
