Attendance Information

  • Students who acquire an absence must bring a note from the parent or legal guardian within 3 days of returning to school.  Failure to bring a note will result in an unexcused absence. Excuse notes turned in after a grading cycle has ended will not be accepted.  Parents may fax excuses to 713-226-4543 or email our School Registrar, Ms. Ramirez, at Sramir17@houstonisd.org

     
    Absence notes should contain the following information:

    •         Student’s full name

    •         Date of absence

    •         Reason for absence

    •         Parent/Guardian name and signature

    •         Phone number(s) where parent/guardian can be reached

     

    Absences will be excused for the following reasons:

    •        Personal illness

    •        Illness or death in the family

    •        Weather or road conditions making travel dangerous

    •        Emergencies or any unusual circumstances recognized by the principal

    •        Doctor’s excuse

     

    Students must be signed out in the main office if they are leaving campus while classes are in session.  Students are only allowed to leave with their parent/guardian or any other person whose name is on the enrollment card with the school.  Persons who are not listed on the student enrollment card may not check out a student unless a note from the parent has been brought in, faxed, or emailed.  It must include the parent name and number, name of the person picking up the student, and a copy of the parent’s driver's license or another form of picture ID.  All persons checking out a student will be asked to show a valid ID.
