Policies/Procedures
A parent/guardian should contact the Attendance Office at 469-272-2000 for each absence and send a follow-up note for the student's file.  Any call or note received after 3 school days from the date of the absence will not excuse the absence.

• When a student submits a note from a doctor or dentist for a partial day, the student will be considered present.
• According to the Texas Education Code §25.092, a student must be in attendance 90% of the days a class is offered.  A student who misses a class more than 9 times in a semester is subject to loss of credit.
• Seniors not meeting the attendance requirement will not participate in graduation ceremonies.
• Attendance School make-up days will be offered for students with more than nine absences. Four-hour make-up days will be offered on pre-determined Saturdays from 8:00 am until 12:00 noon.   One four-hour attendance school will equal 1 school day.  Students will be charged an administrative fee of $10.00; no charge for students enrolled in the Free Lunch Program; $5.00 for those enrolled in the Reduced Lunch Price Program.  No shows will forfeit a paid registration fee.  Every student must pay or register for each Attendance School before-hand.  Students must pre-register in the attendance office by 3:30 the Friday before they plan to attend.  If the fee creates a hardship and discourages the student from attending attendance school, parents may inquire with the attendance secretary about waiver of the fee.  Students must bring homework or study work, and student ID.  Dress code and all student handbook guidelines apply.  Entry will not be allowed after 8:00 a.m.
