Attendance Policies and Procedures

The following list is specific to our campus.  In addition, all students and parents must also read and sign the MISD Code of Conduct.

  • Students may enter the building through the front doors at 7:15 AM.
  • The school day begins at 7:45 AM and ends at 2:55 PM. Please keep this in mind when scheduling Doctor/Dentist appointments.
  • Students will be counted tardy after 7:55 AM.
  • Students that arrive after 8:15 AM will be counted absent for a partial day.
  • A note is required for all absences.  A doctor's not is required for absences 3 days or longer.
  • Absences are excused for the following reasons: student illness, doctor/dentist appointments, or death in the family.
  • Unexcused absences: family vacations, missed the bus, no transportation, or other family member is ill, etc.
  • Texas Law states that if a student has unexcused absences from school for 10 or more days or parts of days within a 6 month period, the attendance officer and parent must go to court for truancy.  This will be enforced.
  • Texas Law also states that if a student has unexecused absences from school for 3 or more days or parts of days in a 4 week period, the attendance officer and parent must go to court for truancy.  This will be enforced.
  • Texas Law also states that if a student misses more than 10% of the school year (18 days excused or unexcused) then credit for the year may be denied.

Remember: If your child has a doctor/dentist appointment in the morning and is well enough to return to school, bring them to school after the appointment along with a doctor's note.

I have read and understand the above policies and procedures.  I will do my best to comply.
