LISD Absence Policy

Absence Policy

Parents should provide a note documenting the reason for the absence to the school IMMEDIATELY upon the child’s return, and not later than three days after the absence. If the child was seen by a health care provider, a note from that provider is always preferred. If the student was present for PART of the school day and missed the remainder for a health care appointment, a note from that provider should be given to the school within 3 days. In this circumstance, the time away from school is NOT considered an absence.
