Attendance Matters
Did you know that attending classes is important to high school success? Attendance is directly related to a student's ability to:
- pass classes
- receive credits towards graduation
- avoid truancy interventions if under 19
- remain in school if over 19
Hastings reaches out to parents regarding attendance by phone calls, letters mailed home, conferences, and home visits. If you have any questions regarding your student's attendance, please contact your student's assistant principal or the Attendance department:
- Donna McRoberts, AP of Accountability - 281-988-3110 x27050
- Meyda Carlson, Attendance Recovery Coordinator - 281-988-3110 x27070
- Crystal Arreaga, Truancy Clerk - 281-988-3110 x27048
To learn more about attendance and how it affects your student, attend Hastings' Attendance Workshop on Saturday, Nov. 3 (9:00AM-11:00AM) in the S. Cafeteria.
