Moving forward, we will be sending out parent newsletters once a month. That way, we can ensure new information with each publication.

Attendance

Weekly letters will be sent in the mail to parents/guardians who have children with excessive absences. State Law requires that students attend school for at least 90% of the time, equating to a maximum of 18 absences. When repeated efforts are made to improve student attendance, and it continues to occur, we will file truancy charges. Attendance is a factor that we consider when discussing retention, as well.

Remote Learners must participate in at least one academic interaction before 3 pm each day, or they will be marked absent. If you have any technological difficulties that prevent your child from completing work or participating in meetings/groups, please notify your child's teacher so they can mark his/her attendance accordingly.

If your child goes from in person to remote learning due to an illness or other related event, they are expected to participate remotely while they are not participating in in person learning.

Beginning next week, automated phone calls will occur every day by 1 pm, and will notify only the families with students who have not completed an academic interaction for the day.

If you'd like more information regarding attendance, or to discuss your specific situation, contact megan.wehrle@elginisd.net.

Students who have perfect attendance for the month of April will be entered into a drawing for a Walmart gift card!
