Student attendance procedures:
Please report the absence using ONLY ONE of the following methods. Multiple emails and calls on the same student causes a delay in processing all absences.
- Through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal App (preferred method)
- Email chs.office@ankenyschools.org for CHS students
- Email nv.office@ankenyschools.org for NV students
- Call 515-965-9610 for CHS students / Call 515-965-9700 for NV students
Please note, students will need to be called out daily for each day they are attending
Reminder Regarding State Attendance Reporting
- A new state law governs student attendance. Under this new legislation, excused and unexcused absences will have new definitions.
- Our district will track absences as the state requires, which will count toward chronic absenteeism. However, the district will not impose any additional school-based consequences related to 8th-12th grade students’ ability to practice & play in activities. The activity departments will continue to make those decisions in alignment with our student handbook.
- Attending the State tournament would fall in the category as unexcused for reporting purposes, but those students would still be able to participate in activities that night as long as it is stated they are attending the State event as a fan.
