Absence Reporting

Compulsory Attendance

Texas requires a child who is at least six years of age, or who is younger than six years of age and has previously been enrolled in first grade, and who has not yet reached his/her 18th birthday to attend school for the entire period the program is offered unless exempt by TEC 25.086. While students are not required to enroll in pre-kindergarten or kindergarten, once enrolled, the students are required to attend school. TEC 25.085 and Board Policy FEA (LEGAL)

Early Checkouts 

If your child is checked out before 9:15 a.m. for personal reasons (i.e. travel, family celebration, return from appointment without proper documentation) he/she will be considered absent. Any student that is checked out after 9:15 a.m. will have a partial day's absence.  Any adult checking out a student must be either listed as a guardian on the enrollment card OR separate documentation must be sent from the parent/guardian to the school on the day of check out. Emergency contacts may not check out students unless there is an emergency situation (i.e. student illness).    

Students may NOT check out after 2:30 as they will be moving to their dismissal locations at this time.​

​​Tardies

A student is considered tardy when the student is not in the proper place with all needed materials before the tardy bell rings at 7:50 a.m. The school doors open at 7:30 a.m.  Please help us get each day off to a good start by having your child in school on time.
