High 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 high 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.
