Please refer to the attendance page in your child's Student Handbook for complete rules and guidelines.

What do I do when my Child will be absent?

Parents, there are 3 different ways to ensure your child's absence is excused.  Choose any ONE of the following:

1) Email the school at KAPPELK@lisd.net , including your name, telephone #, child's name and ID #, and reason for absence.
2) Call the school at 469-948-8311 and include the same information: name, phone #, Child's name and ID # and reason for absence.
3) Send a parent note/dr. note with the child once they return to school with the same information included.

Only one form of notification is necessary to ensure the absence is excused.

Any note brought in after 3 days will result in an unexcused absence.

Parent:  You can request homework assignments on the 3rd day of the student's absence if the request is called in by 9:30 a.m.  Parents may pick up any available assignments from the office beginning at 2:30 p.m.

Pre-Planned Absences:

Pre-Arranged Absence Form

Absences not relating to medical or school may be excused on a case-by-case basis.  Permission must be requested from Mr. Cassel, Principal of Killian MS, before the child misses school.  His email address is cassela@lisd.net .   Otherwise, the absence will be unexcused .   An unexcused absence means that the child will be unable to turn in work missed on that day, and will receive zeros as a result.  This policy is also explained in more detail in the Student Guide Book.

What do I do if I need to take my student out of school during the day?

If a student needs to leave campus early for an appointment, the parent* must come in and sign the student out. A picture ID is required. 

* Students may only leave with individuals identified on the Killian Emergency Card. 

What do I do if I'm not on the Killian Emergency Card?

K illian Emergency Cards were sent home with your student at the beginning of the school year.  If changes/updates need to be made, have the student get a new card from the office and bring it home to you.  You will then complete it with all individuals allowed to take your child out of school.

General Rules

Any time a student comes in late or leaves school early they MUST sign in/out from the office.  Failure to do so will result in disciplinary action.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email me.

Thank you,
