Reporting Absences
To make our absence reporting process more efficient for everyone, we encourage all parents/caregivers to report student absences using the Infinite Campus Parent Portal or the Campus Parent mobile app. This is the fastest and most accurate way to get information to our attendance office, saving you time and helping our staff focus on what matters most - supporting our students and families. As a reminder, the Parent Portal is also the official source for your student's grades, so we encourage you to log in regularly. Please take a moment to download the Campus Parent app or bookmark the website to stay connected. Reporting an absence is simple: just log in, navigate to "Absence Requests," enter the details, and submit. While you can still call the attendance line or email us, using the portal is the most effective method. Thank you for your partnership in making our school run smoothly!

The committee will meet at least twice per year and report on an annual basis to the Board and community on how these funds have been spent. All meetings are open to the public.
Six members and one alternate will be appointed by the school board for a two-year term. They will not be compensated and will serve no more than two consecutive terms. Members shall reside within the boundaries of the SRVUSD and shall be registered voters.
Information and applications can be found at www.srvusd.net/PTOCrecruit or by contacting Sandra Corsetti in the Business Office, via email [email protected].
Applications are due no later than 3:00 PM September 11, 2026.

PTA President’s Welcome
A Welcome from Your PTA President
Welcome back, Jaguar families! We’re excited for another great year at Iron Horse and all the events, programs, and opportunities ahead for our students and staff.
A huge thank you to everyone who has already joined the PTA or made a direct donation. Your support makes our work possible!
If you haven’t joined or donated yet, we’d love to have you be part of it. The more support our PTA receives, the more we can give back to Iron Horse; through student programs, community events, staff appreciation, wellness initiatives, and so much more.
There’s no requirement to volunteer or attend meetings. Simply becoming a member or making a donation makes a difference.
Join. Give. Help us do more for our Jaguars. 💙🐆
~ Amanda McCoy PTA President
