Please remember to send in an excuse if your child is absent from school. This excuse can be emailed, handwritten or submitted electronically using the absence form. Thank you for your help with this!

Regular attendance is critical to learning in the classroom. When your elementary or middle school child is absent from school, please note the following important reminders:

Inform the school within 48 hours to mark the absence as excused using one of these options:

• Fill out the online absence form at humbleisd.net/attendancecontacts -or-

• Email the campus attendance office -or-

• Send in a paper note, or take a photo with your phone and send it to the attendance office -or-

• Call the school’s attendance office

For medical or dental appointments:

• Get a note at the appointment and upload it into the online absence form at humbleisd.net/attendancecontacts -or-

• Turn it in to the attendance office within 48 hours.

Did You Know?

Dated health care appointment notes allow the school to mark your child present if they attended any part of the school day, such as before or after their appointment.

When students stay in school until 10 a.m. (Elementary) or 10:40 a.m. (Middle School), it ensures the school receives full funding for the day. Your support in ensuring your child’s attendance not only helps them academically, but also boosts the school’s success.

Thank you for partnering with us to provide the best educational experience for our students. For more information, please visit Important Attendance Information for Parents or view the Attendance Reminders for Elementary & Middle School flyer.
