Attendance Office

District Attendance Guidelines

There may be mornings when it is difficult to tell whether or not your child is too ill to go to school. Click HERE to see a list of symptoms that would require your student to stay home.

Reporting an Absence

If your student is absent, please notify us by phone or email each day, or provide a parent or doctor's note upon your student's return to school.

Requesting a Ride Change

If you have a change of transportation for your student(s), please put the change of transportation in writing. Please include the following information:

• Student's Name(s)
• Teacher's Name(s)
• Date
• Transportation change

Ride changes, including pick-ups from school will be accepted until 2:30 p.m. each afternoon. With the exception of emergencies, the office will be closed to visitors from 2:30 to 3:10 p.m. each day.  This will allow us to maintain a secure environment while we prepare for and implement our dismissal routines.  Unless emergency circumstances exist, all visitors arriving on campus after 2:30 p.m. will be asked to return to their car or wait on the lawn until our busses have left campus.  For example:

• If your child has a medical or dental appointment requiring early release from school, you must make arrangements to sign him/her out of school prior to 2:30 p.m.
• If you have misplaced or need an additional car tag, you will need to obtain the tag before 2:30 p.m. or after 3:10 p.m.

Your child will be dismissed via his/her normal routine UNLESS we receive written documentation from the parent/guardian. We understand that at times, it may be necessary for you to make changes to your child’s dismissal during the school day. For your child’s safety, parents/guardians must contact the school office at 817-215-0650 prior to 2:30 p.m. This advance notice is necessary due to the high volume of families we serve.
