Attendance Policy and Procedures

Attendance Policy/Procedures 

Texas Law: Section 25.092 of the Texas Education Code states that a student must be in class for at least 90% of the days a class is offered to receive credit or a final grade for that class. 18 total absences falls below 90% of the school days.

  • You will need to call the attendance line, or enter the absence in Skyward before 10:00 a.m.  Our attendance line number is 806-677-2514.
