ATTENDANCE!
Please read the information below regarding attendance. This information is directly from the 2022-2023 District Parents & Students-Handbook.
The district must submit attendance of its students to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) reflecting attendance at a specific time each day. Official attendance is taken every day during the second instructional hour at 10:00 a.m. A student absent for any portion of the day, including at the official attendance-taking time, should follow the procedures below:
1. When a student must be absent, the student, upon arrival or return to school, must bring documentation that describes the reason for the absence. Documentation for all excused absences must be submitted within 48 hours after the absence has occurred. Parent notes may be used to excuse a total of 8 absences for the school year. All notes should include the date the note was written, dates of absence(s) and student ID#. The campus will document in its attendance records for the student whether the absence is considered by the district to be excused or unexcused. Please note that, unless the absence is for a statutorily allowed reason under compulsory attendance laws, the district is not required to excuse any absence, even if the parent provides a note explaining the absence.
2. Upon return to school, a student absent for more than 5 consecutive days because of a personal illness must bring a statement from a doctor or health clinic verifying the illness or condition that caused the student’s extended absence from school. A note signed by the student, even with the parent's permission, will not be accepted unless the student is 18 or older.
3. A student absent for any reason should promptly make up specific assignments missed. Absences made up during Saturday school, after school or credit recovery DO NOT make up the absences for the purpose of truancy court.
4. If a student has an appointment with a healthcare professional, the student may be counted present for the day if: the student attends class sometime during the day of the appointment, either before or after the appointment; the school sign-in/out sheet supports the appointment; and the student provides written documentation from the health care professional for his/her presence at the appointment. The student is responsible for completing any assignments missed.
5. A student who is tardy to class will be subject to the consequences established at each campus in accordance with the possible consequences in the SAISD Student Code of Conduct.
6. Students and parents should be aware of specific school procedures for contacting the Attendance Office at each school.
7. A student absent from school may not be allowed to participate in school-related activities on the day or evening of an absence.
8. Excessive absences may result in a violation of compulsory attendance laws and the Student Code of Conduct. Such violations may result in the loss of course/grade credit, court action, and/or monetary fines.
