As the spring season unfolds with various events such as competitions, college visits, and physicals, it is important for parents to consider the significance of their child's attendance in school.
Parents are reminded to report their child's absences, whether they are due to illness or school-related activities. Reports may help clarify any automated messages parents receive regarding absences when their child is on a school field trip or is participating in testing. Parents are also encouraged to check their child's attendance records regularly.
Some absences qualify as excused. These include school field trips, UIL events, observation of religious holy days, and partial absences due to doctor's appointments. Parents seeking more information about the differences between excused and unexcused absences should find the relevant details online.
