  1. Verification of Enrollment (VOE) Forms will be provided in the Attendance Office. 
  2. Parents/Guardians: Cut off time for student pick up is 2:30.
  3. Students entering a class 1-30 minutes late will be considered tardy, and will need to get a tardy from the tardy kiosk. Although it is not an absence, unexcused tardies can lead to disciplinary action.
  4. A student is considered absent after entering 31 minutes into the class period. 10 absences or more will lead to truancy, where a court date will be set. Excused absences do  not count towards truancy.  1 period abscence in a day, is considered 1 whole Truancy Day per the State of Texas.  Attendance school will not be provided for Truancy.  
  5. A parent/guardian should submit an absence note in writing to the Attendance Office for each day of absence. Notes must be turned in within three days of their absence.  If you wish to email, you may email your assigned attendance clerk, enter via Skyward, by fax to 972-291-6002, or student can submit note upon return to school to the Attendance Office.  
  6. Students submitting a note from a doctor or dentist for a partial day will be considered present.
  7. Students submitting a note from court will be considered present. 
  8. Students arriving late for school must sign in with the Attendance Office.  
  9. Students leaving campus during the school day must be signed out in the Attendance Office by a parent/guardian, or with email permission from a verified parent/guardian.  No student may sign themselves out regardless of age.  Physical ID must be provided.  
  10. Our closed-campus policy does not allow students to leave campus for lunch, regardless of the student's age. We ask for parental help and support with this policy.
  11. According to the Texas Education Code §25.092, students are required to attend 90% of the days a class is offered. A student who misses a class more than 9 times in 1st semester, or 10 times in 2nd semester, is subject to loss of credit. Excused and unexcused absences count towards credit denial. Please be aware of absences accrued throughout each semester. 
  12. Attendance school after committee approval, will be offered for students not meeting the 90% rule for credit denial purposes.  Credit Denial is an Administrator Approval and not Attendance.  
  13. Seniors not meeting the attendance requirement will not participate in graduation ceremonies.
  14. Students not meeting the attendance requirement will not be allowed to receive the VOE form that the DPS and driving schools require for a permit or driver's license.
