Attendance is the key to success!

Regular and punctual attendance is the greatest single factor in school success.  Texas Compulsory Attendance Law requires students to attend school regularly, unless otherwise exempted, by law.  It is the responsibility of the parent and student to cooperate and communicate with the school on all attendance matters.  The key to high school graduation is strong school attendance by students and a partnership between guardians and the school.  

In a study conducted, Leander ISD found that students with 10 or more unexcused absences in a single school year, were 15.5 times more likely to drop out of high school.  

At Rouse, we know that students will need to be absent from time to time.  We care about our students and their success in school and at life.  We have designed this site to provide you with information regarding Texas attendance laws and how to ensure compliance and most importantly, student success.  Texas Compulsory Attendance Law has two parts- Truancy and Attendance Hours.
