If you find your student attendance is in error, please go to Home Access Center and hover over the date in question. In a few seconds it will show you the period (Ex: 01, 02 etc.) in which the teacher marked your student absent. Please email or call the teacher directly to inquire about the absence. When the attendance office receives a correction from the teacher, the attendance will be corrected. Please do not contact the Attendance Office, as she cannot change any attendance. Corrections must come from the teacher of record.
In accordance with RRISD attendance policies, Maverick students who arrive to their assigned class 10 minutes late (or more) will be marked ABSENT for that CLASS.
After returning from an absence, students have 5 days to turn in excuse notes to the attendance office.
Parents may report absences using our Report An Absence form.
The student's parent or guardian must communicate with the school the reason for the student's absence through a written note, signed by the parent or guardian, phone call, email, or through an approved district method of communication.
For communication to excuse an absence, it must be turned in to the attendance office or be sent in within 5 days of returning from the absence.
Partial day absences due to medical appointments are excused by TEA when the student is in attendance for the remainder of the school day. A doctor’s note is required as well as sign-in/out at our front desk (unless the student is a driver. Student drivers may sign themselves out with a parental note granting that permission). The excuse may be turned into the office by the student or parent.
Sign-in at the front office is required as part of the attendance record for all students who arrive late to school. The student should bring a parent’s note explaining the reason for arriving late, or a school excuse from a doctor’s office.
A parent or guardian must be present to sign out students who leave campus during school hours (unless the student is a driver. Student drivers may sign themselves out with a parental note granting that permission). A parent signature and the reason for leaving are required. Please allow sufficient time for sign-out procedures. We cannot pull students from class past 3:45 p.m. Students must have made prior arrangements.During school hours, students may be released to parents or legal guardians only, unless written authorization is provided. Written permission should include the full name of the person authorized, the student’s full name, the date and reason for leaving, and the parent’s telephone numbers. Older siblings sent to pick up a student must also have written permission from their parents, even if they are already listed as an emergency contact. A photo ID will be required in both cases.
School attendance is mandated by state law. The only excused absences are personal illness, death in the immediate family (parent, sibling, grandparent, or a member of the immediate household), or school related absence. When an extended absence is anticipated, please send a note to the attendance office with details including the dates and the reason for the absence, the student’s full name, grade, and the parent’s / guardian’s name and telephone number.
RRISD central office manages an automated call system to contact parents for all absences, including partial day absences. This helps to resolve truancy problems.
