Your Child's Success Begins with Attendance!
As a parent/guardian, you are in the best position to help your children understand the benefits of regular attendance.
You can help in the following ways:
- Tell your children it is important to get to school every day and be on time so they can learn more.
- If your child makes excuses to stay home from school, take the time to listen to their concerns-we are here to help you and your child.
- Post the school calendar, and plan your vacations and appointments outside of school time.
- Monitor your child's attendance through Klein ISD's Family Access (Skyward).
- Report absences in a timely manner using Skyward Family Access.
Good attendance is of prime importance for the educational development of each student. A student should not be absent unless it is absolutely necessary. Any student who is absent more than 9 (nine) days per semester in a high school credit course or more than 18 (eighteen) days in a school year in an intermediate school course will have his/her attendance record reviewed by the campus attendance committee to determine if extenuating circumstances exist.
It is mandatory that written notes be submitted to the Attendance Office within 5 (five) school days of the absence. If the Attendance Office does not receive a Skyward parent notification or signed, written documentation from the parent or a physician's office within 5 (five) school days of the absence, the absence will remain unexcused.
With regard to unexcused absences, a student commits an offense if the student is absent for 10 (ten) or more days or parts of days within a six-month period or 3 (three) or more days or parts of days in a four-week period
