Middle and High School Absence Information
Humble ISD believes that attendance is a crucial factor in student achievement. Thus, any absence from school represents an educational loss to the student. All students must adhere to compulsory attendance laws and are required to attend classes or engage in online learning at least 90% of the days a class is offered. Failure to meet these requirements may result in truancy procedures and/or loss of course credit.
Following an absence, a parent/guardian must contact the attendance office within 48 hours of the student's return to school. Absences can be reported by:
Online Absence Excuse Form
Parent Email to Attendance Office
Parent Note Returned with Student
Parent Phone Call to Attendance Office
Fax Parent Note to Attendance Office
Information to include:
Student's first and last name, ID#, grade
Date(s) of absence
Detailed reason for absence
Parent name, phone number, email address
Five days of absences may be excused by parent notifications (online absence form, email, note, phone call, and/or fax) per semester. Beyond that, medical or other official documentation may be required in order for an absence to be excused.
Doctor’s Visit: If a student is present any part of a school day in which a doctor’s visit occurred, the student will not be marked absent if the medical documentation is submitted to the attendance office upon the student’s return.
Always turn in ALL doctor, court, college notes as this does affect the coding of the absence.
No students are permitted to leave the building without being signed out by either a parent, legal guardian or any other parties listed as an EMERGENCY CONTACT on the student's information sheet.
Please be prepared to present a picture ID upon every visit to campus.
