Please see the procedures listed below for student absences.

Illness

If a student misses class due to illness that does not require a doctor's attention, please e-mail an excuse note to our Registrar, Brittnay Peters, at BRPETERS@dallasisd.org.  An excuse note must be sent for each day the student is absent within 3 school days of the absence.  If as student is ill, but able to attend class virtually and complete the work as assigned, he/she will not require an excuse note.

An absence of longer than 3 days due to illness must be accompanied by a doctor's note clearing your student's return to school.

If your student misses school due to a positive COVID test or exposure to another person with a positive COVID diagnosis, please follow the administration guidelines for returning to school.  Your student's return to school after a diagnosis/exposure will be coordinated with Nurse Jimenez (verjimenez@dallasisd.org).

Doctor/Medical Appointment

Students who miss any period/class due to a doctor's appointment must provide a doctor/professional note explaining the reason for the absence.  Medical excuse notes must be provided within 3 days of the absence and e-mailed to Ms. Peters or dropped in the Front Office.
