90% Attendance Rule
While we understand and are empathetic to circumstances out of your control, there are attendance laws that all schools must follow.
In addition to compulsory attendance law, districts are required to enforce the 90 percent rule, which states that students in grades K-12 must attend class for 90 percent of the time it is offered to receive credit or a final grade. The 90 percent rule applies to most absences, including excused absences. If the student doesn’t meet this requirement, an attendance committee may grant the student credit or a final grade, depending on the circumstances.
Brightly Colored Fentanyl Used to Target Young Americans
Please be aware of Rainbow Fentanyl—fentanyl pills and powder that come in a variety of bright colors, shapes, and sizes—is a deliberate effort by drug traffickers to drive addiction amongst kids and young adults, Please be aware of this form of Fentanyl and know it is sometimes referred to as “sweet tarts” and “skittles”.

Sights and Sounds in San Marcos-Community Service Opportunity
My name is Claudia Cruz Hidrogo, I serve as the current Volunteer Coordinator with Sights & Sounds. I wanted to reach out to you today in regards to maintaining our relationship with HHS and getting your student body involved with community service! I know students are always looking for some way to get community service hours and I am here to help with that! We are looking to include the surrounding communities with this large event.
Sights and Sounds is such a large event we need the help of many volunteers, hence why I am reaching out to you. This year’s event will be from December 1-3 and 10-12 during Sights & Sounds, each shift is roughly 4 hours, while volunteering they will receive a drink ticket and a free Sights & Sounds T-Shirt. Students will also get an opportunity to establish connections within the community along with Texas State Students.
To ease the mind of you and parents we do have security on-site, the safety of our volunteers and attendees is of the utmost importance to us. We will be implementing a clear bag policy to ensure there will not be dangerous objects on the premises.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns please feel free to reach me at this email, also my cell phone at 512-749-6635. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing the students participating at Sights and Sounds!
For volunteer registration please use the following link, I also ask that students use their personal email to be able to receive follow-up emails including directions and sign-in protocols:
