Dear Parents

In an effort to keep you informed, I want to ensure that you understand the laws governing attendance in Texas. I know getting students up and ready for school is a challenge. If you are struggling and need some ideas for help in the morning, please contact the office and we will be happy to provide support, strategies and incentives for your child. Attendance is of utmost importance and I want you to be informed of the laws.

A Texas Education Law mandate requires that children attend 90% of a school year. Regardless of whether the absences are excused or unexcused, children who do not meet the required state attendance mandates are in jeopardy of having to attend summer school or possible grade retention to ensure that gaps are not left in their education. Please understand that we know that students will get sick. We do not want students at school with fever or vomiting, but I do want you to be informed of the laws that schools must follow. Good attendance is so important to student success in school. I want to help ensure that we will be able to work to create great attendance habits for your child for the school year.

Under Texas state law (TEC §25.095), school districts are required to give notice that parents are subject to prosecution if a student has 3 or more unexcused absences in a four week period or 10 or more unexcused absences in a six month period. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian of the student to make sure that the student is in class and accounted for.

Failure to do so constitutes a Class C misdemeanor with a maximum fine of $500 and the possibility of the student being unenrolled due to lack of attendance. It is important to note that each absence over the minimum may be considered a separate offense. For example, 6 unexcused absences in a 4 week stretch may result in students and/or parents being filed on a total of three times.
