Attendance

Attendance:

If your child is absent from school, please contact the Attendance Office via email at Norwoodattendance@misdmail.org.

This information MUST be included in any communication for the absent notes the student's first and last name along with the date of absence and the reason. A medical/parent note must be sent to the attendance office within 3 school days of the student’s return.   It will not be coded without it.

Example:  

Student Name:  Jane Doe

Day & Date:   Sunday, January 00, year

Reason: 

Note: Excused Tardies or Early Release Tardies and early releases are never excused. Only a student who leaves early for a medical appointment and submits a doctor’s note will be coded as an excused medical absence. All other early releases are coded as unexcused.

 The Texas Education Agency requires that students must attend at least 90% of the days a class is offered and earn a passing grade in order to receive credit for the course. If your student misses school for a medical absence, a medical note must be sent to the attendance office within 3 school days of the student’s return.
