Only absences due to illness, doctor's appointments, family emergencies, or other state approved reasons will be counted as an excused absence.  We are encouraging all parents to use Skyward Family Access to report absences.  You may send an email or a note via your child's backpack, but Skyward Family Access is preferred.   Doctor's notes can still be scanned and emailed to the school or physically brought to the school office. When absent, follow the directions below to report an absence in Skyward Family Access. Please email doctor's notes or questions to: bothwellattendance@celinaisd.com 

Attendance notices are automatically generated by our attendance system after your child's 3rd absence and then again on the 7th absence. These notices are legal notices required to be sent home even if all the absences are excused.  The Texas Education Agency requires 90% attendance to earn credit and be promoted to the next grade.  Receiving these notices is not an indication of retention or that your emails/notes were not received by the school. Feel free to call or email Mrs. Simone Dowden Vallieres at 469-742-9108 x.3307 or simonedowdenvallieres@celinaisd.com. 

Truancy letters are also generated for excessive tardies and excessive times of checking out early without cause. Please remember that late arrivals cause your child to miss important beginning of the day procedures. 

If your child accumulates 10 or more unexcused absences, you may be required to attend truancy court.
