Notice of Violation of Compulsory Attendance Law

Or Violation of Minimum Attendance for Class Credit

Dear ___________________________,

Student attendance is one of the primary factors contributing to student success.  The State of Texas also has requirements for student attendance.  According to the latest ruling from the Texas Education Agency, a student must be in attendance at least 90% of the days in a semester to receive credit.  As of today, your child has been absent from school at least five (5) times this semester.  (Refer to attached attendance documentation for actual days absent.)

Please see that every attempt is made for your child to attend school.  If further absences occur which put your child over the allowed number of absences, another certified letter will be sent to you, possibly resulting in legal action.

Please communicate with the school in writing or by phone immediately, so that we can work together to ensure that your child completes the rest of the semester without losing credit.

Sincerely,

Dr. Ron Sterling,
