Attendance Matters: We are so excited that each of our students are part of the Blue Jay family! This year will be packed full of learning, new experiences and fun! It is very important that your child attends school every day, on time.

~ Monthly Celebration ~

We are excited to celebrate our students' accomplishments at our monthly Bluejay Bash, starting in September!


Every month we:

  • Recognize one student from each class as the Outstanding Blue Jay of the Month.
  • Recognize all students with exceptional Attendance (0 absences and less than 2 tardies) for the month.
  • Recognize one student from each class who exhibits the month's Character Trait.


Students will also get brag tags to add to the ring on their backpack as well as tokens to visit the Treasure Tower!

We invite our students to wear college or military shirts with the staff on Wednesdays. Every Wednesday, our staff will wear college, technical school, or military shirts to promote college and career readiness. It's never too early to start thinking about the future of our Blue Jays! They will be Channelview High School Falcons before you know it!

Color Days Color Days

For the next several weeks we will be doing many fun activities to help learn our colors. One of the activities is for the students to wear certain colors on designated days. This is a list of the days your child should wear each color.

What to do If Your Child is Absent What to do If Your Child is Absent

Regular, punctual, daily attendance is required of all our students.


We do understand that sometimes our students are sick and need to stay home.

If a student has diarrhea , is vomiting, or running a fever, they need to stay home. Student's must be fever free without medication for 24 hours before returning to school.

When your child is out, email our Attendance Clerk, Mrs. Alma, at alma.carrizales@cvisd.org


Anytime your student is out for a doctor's appointment or therapy, a note from the doctor or therapist is required. Otherwise, a parent note is needed the day the student returns.


Make sure the note includes your child“s name, teacher“s name, date of absence and reason for absence.

*A student will not be counted absent if he or she leaves school or is late to school and a note from a doctor or therapist is provided for that day.

Stay Connected! Stay Connected!
