If your student believes that an absence is an error, they must discuss this directly with their teacher.  Attendance can only make changes at the direction of their classroom teacher. 

Texas Education Law states that a student must be in attendance 90% to earn credit for a class.  This is calculated each semester.  For each semester, students are allowed the following number of unexcused absences:

Period 1 and 8:   9 absences

Periods 2-7:   4 absences

Students who exceed this limit will be required to complete seat time (Saturday school or Tutorials) to come back in to compliance with the 90% law.

Students should see their Assistant Principal to discuss seat time.
