We are here to help you and want your student to be successful at Cy-Falls. Please feel free to contact us if we can be of assistance.

ABSENCES:

Please call the attendance office as early as possible if your student is not going to be attending school that day. You may leave a message on our answering machines with the student’s full name and grade.

WRITTEN NOTES—EXCUSED ABSENCES:

A note from a parent or doctor must be received within 3 days to excuse an absence. Anything received after 3 days will be processed as a “late note”.

Students who have 3 unexcused absences without notes will receive a Court Warning Letter by mail from the Truant Officer. You may Fax your notes to our office at 281-856-1082

EARLY RELEASE/LATE ARRIVAL:

If your student needs an early release, we will need a note with the student’s name, grade, time to be released, along with a phone number, and a parent’s signature. The note should be brought before school between 7:00 - 7:30 a.m. Our office will call a parent to confirm the student’s early release before the student will be allowed to leave campus. When we get confirmation by phone, the student can sign out and meet their parent out front or leave in their own vehicle. Leaving campus with just a phone call from a parent is not sufficient. Students arriving late will also need to bring a note to excuse their absence and receive a pass to class.

DELIVERIES to your student:

Out of respect for the learning environment of teachers and students, we are not able to make deliveries to your student’s classroom. Please be sure your student has all he/she needs before he/she leaves for school. Any items brought to school must be left up front by the receptionist. Advise your student to check that table between classes, if they left any items at home. There will be emergency situations, and when those cases arise, we will be happy to work with you.

STUDENT ID’s:

All students will be issued a picture ID which will be used to record attendance and be used for other functions. Please impress upon your student the importance of wearing their ID to school every day.

WE ARE ONE!
