North East Independent School District Attendance Procedures for the 2006-2007 school year!

     Minimum Attendance Requirements For Middle School Students

     State law requires that a student may not be given credit for a class unless the student is in attendance a minimum of 90% of the days the class is scheduled to meet.  If a student is in attendance less than 90% of the days the class meets, the student will lose credit unless each and every class is made up in an acceptable manner: Saturday School.  Unusual extenuating circumstances would be a basis for appeal to the attendance review committee.  The structure of the review committee, the procedures, and criteria to be considered are available from the administration.

     Students who have been absent must bring to the office a written signed statement by a parent, guardian or person having custody or control of the student as to the reason for such absence.  This signed statement must be returned to the school attendance office within two school days to enable the student to make up missed assignments.

     Attendance Regulations and acceptable reasons for absences are in the parent / student hand book!

     Please contact the attendance office anytime your student is absent from school : illness, family emergencies, appointments, and vacation days.
