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.

Absences will be excused for the following reasons:

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.
