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

    • 3 unexcused absences within a 6-week period will result in a Truancy Warning Letter. Further unexcused absences will most likely result in court fines.
    • A student is allowed 9 absences per semester (18 per school year) in order to meet the Compulsory Attendance Law's 10% rule. Absences over these amounts may result in loss of credit and/or grade retention.
    • The tardy bell rings at 7:30 am. Students will be counted tardy if they are not in their seats by 7:30 am. Only a note from a physician can excuse a tardy.
