Report an Absence

Every Day Counts!

Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. Absences and tardiness impact the whole classroom. Parents: Making sure your student is in school and on time every day is the law. 

Notification

Please send in documentation of student absences using the Report an Absence application on the AISD website or complete a paper form (pick up in Front Office).
We, DO NOT accept phone calls or voicemail messages as documentation for a student's absence.

 

Please have medical offices submit documentation of your student’s visit to FAX (512) 414-0940

Please allow up to 72 hours (3 business days) for attendance to be corrected.

Set up notifications for your student’s attendance and grades via Parent Self Serve

Students attending family trips during scheduled school days will remain coded as an unexcused absence. Car problems, traffic, or oversleeping will not be considered as an excused absence or excused tardy.

A student is tardy if he/she is not with their homeroom teacher when the 7:40 bell rings. If you arrive late to school, your student will be required to come to the office for a tardy slip before going to class. Arriving after 10:30 is considered absent.

What to do if your student must leave school early:

    • When you arrive to Lee Elementary School to pick up your student, please be prepared with your photo I.D. Your student will be called to the attendance office.
  • Please do not plan to pick up your student from school 30 minutes prior to dismissal (ie 2:40 PM). 

You must sign the student out in the office. Leaving for any part of the day will result in an unexcused tardy. Students leaving for a medical appointment must bring a note from the doctor to excuse the absence/tardy.
