Attendance Guidelines
Regular attendance is essential for a student to be academically successful. Daily attendance is mandatory by the State of Texas. Attendance is taken and recorded for each class period. The compulsory attendance law applies for each class period.
Students must attend at least 90% of classes each semester. Students who exceed the absence limit will be required to attend summer school and may be denied course credit.


Absence from School: When a student is absent, the student will be given three days to bring in a written excuse from his/her parent or guardian or a doctor’s note stating the reason for the absence to the attendance office in room 101. After three days, the absence becomes unexcused.
Excused absences are only allowed for the following:
1. Illness of the student.
2. Illness or death in the student's immediate family.
3. Emergencies or extenuating circumstances as recognized by the principal or her designee.


Penalties for Excessive Absences:
Students with 3+ unexcused absences in a month or 6+ unexcused absences in a grading period will automatically be placed on a Mandatory Attendance Contract.
Excessive unexcused absences may incur the following additional penalties:

  • Mandatory parent/administrator meeting
  • Address verification: Magnet/Transfer Growth Plan (as applicable)
  • Referral to HISD Truancy Officer


Other Considerations:
High School Credit classes will not be awarded credit for absences in excess of 10%.
Magnet transfers may not be renewed the following year due to excessive absences.
Failure to make up lost instructional time during Saturday School may lead to further disciplinary consequences as well as retention in the grade level the following year.
If a student has an unexcused absence for the day, he or she will not be allowed to participate in extracurricular events (including sporting events, cheerleading, karate, etc.) on the day of the absence.
