Attendance Procedures

 

  • Tardy Policy - Students arriving after 8:10 must come to the office for a tardy slip.  Remember, 3 tardies equal one absence.  If your child has a health care appointment and will be arriving late, please bring proof of the appointment from the doctor/dentist so your child will not be counted absent.
  • Absence Reporting - If your child is absent please call the school office at 972-968-2800 (not the teacher) or send an e-mail to bessen@cfbisd.edu  before 10:00 a.m.  Send a note when your child returns to school stating your child's name, date(s) of absence and reason for the absence. 
  • Students Leaving Before Dismissal - If you must pick your child up early for an appointment, you will need to come to the office and sign your child out.  Please allow at least five minutes before you need to leave in order to allow time for us to send for your child.  To minimize loss of instructional time we will not send for your child until you arrive at school.
  • After School Dismissal - Dismissal time is 3:10 p.m.   Please make your child's teacher aware of your after school transportation arrangements.  If an emergency should prevent you from picking up your child by 3:25, you must come in to the office and sign your child out.
