2023 Summer STAAR Academy
This summer, CCISD will offer additional support in the core subject areas for students that struggle when taking STAAR EOC Exams. If your child would benefit from a two-week intervention course that is designed to better prepare for high-stakes exams such as STAAR, please consider signing up. The no cost course will take place June 5th through June 16th at Clear Lake HS, and transportation is provided. Please see the flyer for details and how to enroll.
Attendance & Absent Notes
Student attendance in every class every day is crucial to their academic success. Compulsory attendance laws require a student to attend each class at least 90 percent of the days it is offered in order to receive credit or a final grade in a class. When a student's attendance drops below 90% of the days the class is offered, the student may earn credit for the class by completing a plan approved by the principal.
As we continue to transition back to pre-COVID attendance expectations, starting Spring 2023, all absences that are not school-related business (UIL absences, field trips, approved college visits, etc.) will count toward credit appeals. The maximum number of absences a student may accumulate per course for this semester without losing credit is nine. If you have questions specific to your child's attendance, please contact their assistant principal.
If a student is absent, a parent/guardian must provide a note showing the dates and an explanation for any absence within three (3) days after the student’s arrival or return to school. If this note is not sent within the allocated three (3) days, the absence will be unexcused.
