Attendance - When you miss a day, you miss alot.

We will continue to make daily contact with all families that have absences. We call immediately when your child doesn't arrive at school and is face-to-face or we call when they don't log-in for virtual learning. As Texas law requires, a warning letter is sent to families when they have unexcused absences. We need to work together so that your child does not loose credit or the school files for Truancy Court.

Pre-Kinder: 93.7%

Kinder: 94.58%

1st Grade: 95.96%
