50 Free Christmas Events and Holiday Fun in Houston for Kids
We can all probably agree that the holidays are notoriously expensive. From purchasing gifts and decor to attending parties and Christmas events, it can sometimes seem like we spend more time spending money than celebrating. But your holiday and Christmas activities don't need to cost a small fortune, so we rounded up 50 free Christmas events near Houston that will have your holidays feeling all sorts of festive. From parades and tree lightings, to Santa sightings and more, there is something for everyone on our list of free Christmas events in Houston.
For even more fun, be sure to check out our calendar for things to do every day with the kids.

Attendance Reminders
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
As a school and district, we are struggling with daily attendance and following the attendance policies.
ATTENDANCE TIPS:
Parents, please review the following tips to help you and your child maintain a good attendance record. Remember, research supports that attendance directly affects academic achievement. We need our students to be healthy and present to maximize their learning.
Absences, Tardies and Early Dismissals
· All excuses must be in writing (verbal not accepted)
· Illness and extenuating circumstances are the only excusable absences
· 10 parent written excuses are allowed in one year
· You have 3 days from the date of the absence to turn in a parent written excuse
· Excuses issued by a doctor are accepted at anytime after the absence
· 6 tardies equals 1 unexcused absence
· You are allowed only 15 early dismissals in a year
· 6 unexcused absences warrants a referral to Harris County Court
When you accumulate 3 unexcused absences you will:
· Receive a court warning to notify you that you are being monitored
· Receive a phone call from the Campus Student Success Specialist
· Be asked to make an appointment for a school visit or home visit to sign an attendance contract and discuss ways to prevent a court referral
Any questions regarding attendance can be made to the Attendance Clerk or the Campus Student Success Specialist, Ah-Kee-Sha Jacquet
