Great job Argyle South!!

We will open the front line by 7:20 to alleviate traffic and get kids in the building on time.

Please do not get out of your car. *Note: If you have a young child in a car seat that is on the left side of the car, please remain in line to drop off in the back.

Argyle ISD elementary schools take attendance at 9:30am per TEA guidelines. If your child arrives after 9:30am or is checked out before 9:30am, your child is counted as ABSENT for that day unless you have a doctor’s note. Our school funding is tied to student attendance as well as opportunities to earn school distinctions. Our goal is 98% daily attendance. Please make every effort to ensure your child is present for attendance.

In January, we will be sending attendance letters if your child already has 8 or more absences. Since we have 4 quarters, this means they are at risk of accumulating 17 absences by the end of the school year

Is your student sick? Do they have an appointment or will they miss a day of school? Reporting an absence is convenient and there is no need to call or write a handwritten note. Simply go to the ASE webpage and click on REPORT AN ABSENCE to complete the form. Please remember to email your student's homeroom teacher to let them know how your child is doing and always bring in a doctor's note if you have it. Please refer to the Attendance link listed in the Quick Links on the ASE webpage for more information.

We take attendance each day at 9:30 a.m.

Special/ Pre-planned Absence Request

The holiday season presented us with many delicious treats. Try to challenge yourself and your family in 2023 to continue to make healthy choices. Research has proven that if a family makes healthier choices together, the children will achieve long-term success in weight management and nutritional goals. Eat Healthy, Sleep Well, Breathe Deep, Enjoy Life.

Illnesses

~Please remember that your child must be fever free/vomit free for at least 24 hours without medications before returning to school after an illness.

~It's Cold and Flu Season! Please keep Nurse Kris notified if your student tests positive for Flu, Covid, Strep, or any other identifiable illnesses. This helps us identify clusters of illnesses.

Thank you for helping us keep our students healthy!
