**What Parents Need to Know About the 90% Attendance Rule** Texas schools require students to attend at least 90% of school days to pass their grade or earn class credit. Here’s how you can help: - **Schedule wisely:** Try to plan doctor or therapy appointments so your child still attends part of the day or misses less critical classes like gym or electives. - **Keep records:** Always provide a signed note or doctor’s excuse for absences. Excused absences (like for illness or appointments) won’t count against your child. If your child misses more than 10% of school days, you will be referred to truancy court. Remember, even with challenges, your child can stay on track with support from you and the school. Let’s work together to ensure your child’s success!
