Attendance and Truancy

Welcome to Everman ISD’s Attendance Page! We believe good attendance is essential for every student’s success, as studies show that daily classroom participation boosts academic performance and social-emotional growth. In Texas, compulsory attendance laws require all children ages 6–19 to attend school each day. This also applies to children who are voluntarily enrolled in pre-kindergarten or kindergarten before age six, as well as students 19 and older who remain in school.

To help families meet these requirements, Everman ISD offers Attendance for Credit & Truancy programs that address both state law and district policy while supporting parents and students.

Key Highlights

  • Submit Absence Documentation: Within 72 hours (3 days) of your child’s return to school.

  • Parent Notes: Only 4 handwritten parent notes are accepted per semester. Beyond that, a doctor’s note or other official documentation is needed.

  • 90% Rule: Students must attend at least 90% of each class to earn credit.

  • Truancy Enforcement: If a student has 10 unexcused absences in a 6-month period, parents may face court referrals.
