their classes.
A student will be denied credit for a class when they have
accumulated 10 absences in 1st or 5th period and a total of 5
absences in either 2A/B, 3A/B and 4A/B periods.
If absents continue then the student and parent will be sent to
Truancy court .
Tutorials must be completed to regain attendance credit. This
information may be obtained with the student’s Assistant
Principal.
A student will not receive a TEA form, required for a Texas
driver's permit/license, if the student has excessive
absences. TEA forms may be requested in the front office
and require 24 hours notice for pick up.
