Students MUST check in and out of school through the Attendance Office when they arrive late or leave campus early.
TWCP classes begin at 7:15 a.m. and are dismissed at 2:36 p.m. Please remember, students who arrive at school after 7:30 need to check in through the Attendance Office and have a parent note or phone call to excuse the absence.
Students who arrive between one and fifteen minutes late for class are considered Tardy for that class. If they arrive sixteen minutes (or more) minutes late, they’re considered Absent. This includes late arrival students.
State law requires that students be in attendance 90% of the semester – Excused or Unexcused. Students outside this limit will be required to make up time to receive class credit. Contact the student’s Assistant Principal for details.
TO REPORT AN ALL-DAY ABSENCE(S): Please call the attendance line (each day your student is absent) and leave the following information, or you may send a note which includes the following:
- Student’s Name
- Student ID Number
- Date(s) of Absence(s)
- Reason for Absence(s)
- Parent/Guardian Name, Signature and Contact Phone Number
We ask that you email or call Attendance at 936-709-3003 within 48 hours to excuse the absence. Failure to clear the absence, it will remain UNEXCUSED and a discipline referral can be written.
TO RELEASE YOUR CHILD EARLY OR FOR MID-DAY APPOINTMENTS:
(All students must be signed out by an authorized person with photo ID)
- Please send a note with your child and have them drop off the note at the attendance office (located at the front entrance of the school) preferably before school begins. (Attendance Office opens at 7:00 a.m.) Your student will receive a pass to be released from class at the time specified on the note and meet you in the Attendance Office. We DO NOT release students to Uber Drivers or Taxi Service.
The note should include:
*Student’s Name
*Student ID Number
*Date of Release
*Time of Release
*Parent /Guardian Name, Signature and Contact Phone Numbers
*Permission to Drive Off Campus (if applicable)
- You can also call the school to request an early release for your student. Please call at least 1 hour in advance in order to give the student office-aides ample time to locate your student. A pass to leave early WILL NOT be sent to a student if we do not receive the request before 1:30 pm. Due to high call volume, sending a note is the preferred method.
- If you are taking your child to a doctor appointment, have your student bring in a doctor’s note within 48 hours stating the student was seen by the doctor so the absence will be coded HCP and the absence is not counted against the student’s attendance. (The student must attend school part of the day in order to be coded HCP).
Please provide any doctor’s notes to the attendance office when the student has been excused from school by a doctor. The student’s absence will then be coded DOC for these absences. (The student was absent from school the entire day).
