Attendance

One of the keys to student success is being in the classroom every day. As such, the State of Texas has in place laws (Texas Education Code and Texas Family Code) that require a student be in attendance each school day for the entire time instruction is provided. Two state laws, one dealing with compulsory attendance, the other with attendance for course credit, are of special interest to students and parents.

Students can be considered absent if they miss all or part of the school day, including late arrival and early pick-up. This includes all tardies.

When a student is absent from school, a note must be provided via the Absence Portal or in writing for it to be considered excused.  Students are allowed 5 days each semester to be excused with a parent note.
