Attendance

Every Day Counts!

Regular attendance in all classes is an expectation of all Austin ISD students. State law and District policy state that students must be in attendance for 90% of the instructional days for a class to receive credit. A student who misses more days than allowed by AISD policy, excused or unexcused, may not be given credit for that class unless time and/or work is made up for the absences. Students will work with the grade level administrator to complete the appropriate steps to reach compliance. 

Parents: Making sure your student is in school and on time every day is the law. For more information visit the district's attendance page. 

Notification

Please send in documentation of student absences using the School Absence Form 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 murchison@austinisd.org.

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. Click here to learn more about attendance descriptions and codes. 

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.
