Attendance

Good attendance is important for many reasons. Your child receives the maximum benefit of education by being in school every day, and numerous studies show a strong link between academic performance and consistent attendance. As Klein Oak High School fulfills our Promise2Purpose, we strongly encourage every student to attend school every day.

Enter Absences Through Skyward!

Klein ISD allows parents to enter absence requests through Skyward. By using your Skyward Family Access account, you will now be able to report your student(s) absence electronically and save the time of writing and turning in notes or calling into the attendance office.

Excused Absences

Unexcused Absences

Both the parent and the student are accountable for unexcused absences in the state of Texas. To help parents stay informed, the school will notify the parent if their child accrues absences. A compulsory notification will be sent to a parent if their child has the following:

1st Warning Letter: 3 absences per course in a 4-week period
2nd Warning Letter: 6 absences per course in a 4-week period
Truancy Warning Letter: 3 unexcused absences in a 4-week period
Denial of Credit: After the 9th absence

Early Dismissal

Students are required to obtain an early dismissal and sign out in the attendance office if they are leaving the campus before the school day is complete.

If a student has a signed note from a parent requesting an early dismissal, the note must contain the following:

Student's Name
Date
Time of the early dismissal
Reason for the early dismissal
Parent phone number
Student's phone number
Student's first (1^st) period class with room number if known

Students are responsible for obtaining the early dismissal from the attendance office prior to leaving campus. Failure to obtain an early dismissal and proper sign-out will be treated as an absence without permission (truancy.)
