Attendance Reminders!
Attendance Policy
According to the Texas Education Code 21.041, students must be in attendance 90% of the instructional days each semester to receive credit for any class. A student who attends fewer than 90% of the days the class is offered cannot receive credit for the class unless the attendance committee finds that the absences are the result of extenuating circumstances or allow the student to make up the time to restore credit.
Exemptions to Compulsory Attendance: (excusable absences with proper documentation)
- Religious holy days
- Required court appearances
- Citizenship
- Medical
- Funeral
- Students in the conservatorship (custody) of the state
Types of excuse notes accepted include:
*Note: the school reserves the right to refuse any documentation that is deemed unacceptable*
- Doctor’s note.
- Documentation from a court of law or other government entity that student was required to be present for.
- Hand written note with parent signature.
- Through Family Access.
** Includes Mandatory tutorials.
If parent notes become in excess, doctor's notes may be required for future absences to be considered excused.
Notes from the Nurse
We strongly urge parents to keep their children home if they have any flu-like symptoms such as a fever greater than 100°F, sore throat, cough, body aches, vomiting or diarrhea until they are fever-free or without signs of a fever for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication. In addition, please encourage frequent handwashing at home, as well!
Your help is critical in keeping our schools healthy this flu season!
