ATTENDANCE

Coming to school everyday is important for the academic success and overall well-being of the student.  Every student is expected to attend school every day and on time.

If a student is absent, he or she should bring a written excuse within 2 days of returning to school.  The note should include the date of the absence, the reason for the absence, and a parent and/or doctor’s signature.

If a student fails to present an excuse after 2 absences, the district is required to file a complaint with the Harris County Justice of the Pease Courts against the parent or legal guardian.

Attendance is also an HISD promotion standard. Students having more than 4 unexcused absences will result in consideration of failure for the student even thought the grades were passing. An asterisk (*) will appear on the report card next to the grades.

If a student is tardy, he or she must stop by the office to receive a tardy slip. If a student is tardy more than 6 times, the parent must meet with an administrator.

Students who do attend school everyday will be recognized for their efforts per six-week cycle and at the end of the academic year.

ASISTENCIA

Es importante asistir a la escuela todos los días para asegurar el éxito y el bienestar de los estudiantes. Se espera que todo estudiante asista y llegue a tiempo.

Si un estudiante falta, debe traer una nota escrita dentro de 2 días que regrese a la escuela. La nota debe incluír la fecha de la ausencia, la razón por la ausencia, y la firma del padre o del médico.

Si el estudiante no presenta la nota después de 2 ausencias, es requisito que el distrito presente queja con la corte del Departamento de Justicia del Condado de Harris contra el padre o tutor.

La asistencia también es requisito para ser promovido al siguiente grado. Estudiantes con más de 4 ausencias sin excusa resultará en que el estudiante sea reprobado aunque las calificaciones sean satisfactorias. Un asterisco (*) aparecerá en el reporte al lado de las calificaciones.

Si su niño llega tarde a la escuela, tiene que pasar a la oficina para recibir su boleta de tardanza. Si un estudiante llega tarde más de 6 veces, los padres tendrán conferencia con el director.

Estudiantes con faltas durante el ciclo de seis semanas no serán reconocidos por sus esfuerzos al fin del ciclo o al final del año.
