Truancy Notifications

Truancy notifications are automatically generated and sent by the LISD and not by Vandegrift High School based on the following codes:

• O (Unverified/Unexcused absence, No documentation provided)

• U (Unexcused absence)

Truancy notifications are sent out as follows:

• 3+ Unexcused absences - 1st Truancy Warning Notice = Remind notification

• 7+ Unexcused absences - 2nd Truancy-Attendance Notice = Email from Assistant Principal

• 10+ Unexcused absences - 3rd Truancy Final Warning Notice = Remind notification

To avoid receiving automatic truancy notifications, please provide appropriate documentation for your student's absences within 2 days of returning to campus after an absence. Documentation can be emailed to VHSattendance@leanderisd.org or your student can turn it in at the Attendance Office. 

• Notes received late will be accepted for student's file, but attendance coding may not change.

• Changes cannot be made to absences in previous grading cycles.

If you have any additional questions about Truancy please reach out to your student's assigned Assistant Principal - Amanda Toon (Students A-B), Becky Azard-Jackson (Students C-G), Parrish McEwen (Students H-Ma), Colin Fletcher (Students Mc-Sa), David Barnes (Students Sc-Z) or our Truancy Prevention Specialist, Amber Ryder.
