Every school day counts! Regular attendance helps students stay on track academically, and it's also required by the 90% rule, which means students must attend at least 90% of school days to earn credit for their classes. Need to report an absence? Visit the Report a Student Absence page on our website.

Founded in 1848 to educate the children of local farmers and small business owners, McKinney schools have been a focal point of our community for over 150 years. Although the world has changed dramatically since McKinney saw its first settlers, the importance of a strong educational system that provides children with skills to be productive citizens in our society is still a priority for our community.
The McKinney Independent School District has a long-standing reputation for educational excellence, and our district is continually recognized at both the state and national levels.
McKinney ISD’s success can be attributed to the leadership of our elected Board of Trustees, the professional educators who work diligently to give every child the best education possible, and the support of our parents and community who value and set high standards for the children of MISD.
