Guidance
We will be wrapping up our state mandated Bullying Lesson with both 7th and 8th graders by the end of the month. This lesson reviews the definition, types and signs of bullying and empowers students with the tools to be upstanders.
Course selection for both 7th and 8th graders is now complete. Thank you for your support in helping your student select their courses for next year. The final review window will be May 2nd-6th. 7th grade applications are still being reviewed. Students will be notified at a later date if they have been selected.

Attendance Reminder
Documenting Student Absences
Use one of these options to document a studentâs absence:
- Log into SKYWARD, click on the âAttendanceâ tab, click on âsubmit an Absence Requestâ and then complete the request. No further documentation or phone call is required. This is our preferred method.
- Call the Attendance Clerk at 972-747-3308 x244160. Please have your studentâs ID number available.
- Parent/guardian notes must have a parent/guardian signature and include your studentâs ID number. These can be dropped off at the school or scanned (JPEG or PDF) and emailed to william.lazarus@allenisd.org.
A couple of reminders:
- Absence notes must be received within three days of the studentâs return to school. Otherwise, the absence will remain as unexcused. Truancy notifications will be sent when the student has 3 or more unexcused absences (full or partial days).
- A medical note is required for students who miss more than five consecutive days of school.
- Absence requests for Religious Holy Days must include the name of the holy day.
If you have any questions, please contact Bill Lazarus at 972-747-3308 x 244160 or email william.lazarus@allenisd.org.
