  • Daily Attendance 

     

    Attendance is taken on a daily basis. Any student not present by 10:00 am is recorded as absent. When students are absent, parents must send a note to the school within five school days of the students return to school. The note must include the date(s) and reason for absence. Failure to send the note within five school days will result in the absence(s) being recorded as unexcused.

Elementary School Attendance Counts!

  • Daily attendance in school is a strong indicator of future success.

    Per the Student Attendance Accounting Handbook provided by Texas Education Agency, a student is considered either present or absent at the official attendance-taking time, known as snapshot.

    Each campus attendance is determined by the number of students present at this important designated snapshot time. The elementary school snapshot time is 10:00 a.m.

    To ensure academic engagement and successful learning, all students should be present daily by snapshot and remain academically engaged all day.
