Green Valley Attendance

Official Attendance Time is 9:35 a.m.
(1:00pm for afternoon PK classes)
**Remember to send in an excuse note anytime your child is absent.** Calling in a student absent does not excuse the absence--only a written parent note, doctor's note or an e-mail from a parent/guardian will excuse the absence. If the student spends some part of the day in school and he/she is out for a medical/dental appointment, a note from the care provider is required to excuse the absence.
Notes may be delivered to the front desk, sent in with your child, faxed to 210-619-4463 or emailed to greenvalleyattendance@scuc.txed.net
