Dr. Guillory- Director of Student Attendance Webinar

  • Anticipated Absences
    When you know in advance that your student will need to be absent, it is to your educational advantage to talk to your child's teacher and the front office.  Please email Sana.Quadri@fortbendisd.com with details for preplanned absences.

    These will be reviewed by the Principal.

    Please send notes to the Attendance Office at least 5 school days before the absence occurs to determine if the absence will be excused.
