When it is necessary for a student to be absent from school, a parent/guardian should call the Attendance Office to report the absence. All absences are unexcused until a note is received from a doctor or parent. In order to excuse the absence, a note must be received within three (3) days of the student's return to school. Notes should include the following information:

• Student Full Name
• Date of Absence
• Reason of Absence
• Parent/Guardian signature
• Attach doctors note when applicable

Excessive unexcused absences may result in loss of credit or court action. Parents/guardians may fax notes directly to the Attendance Office (fax number 281-320-7033); you are also encouraged to give our fax number to your doctor's office and request that they fax us a doctor's note excusing absences from school due to illness, injury, etc. Phone calls to report absences are a courtesy call only and does not excuse absences.
