If your child is absent, please email LauraStacey@hebisd.edu or call the school at 817-354-3370 to report the absence. Please include this information:

• your child's name, grade, and teacher's name
• the reason for the absence
• your name
• and if you're leaving a voicemail, please repeat this information in case we can't hear it the first time.

It is a parent's responsibility to report the student's absence within 72 hours. If the absence is not reported within the time specified, it will be considered an unexcused absence regardless of the reason for the absence.

If your child has been absent more than 10% of the school days enrolled, then a doctor's note will be required for each absence recorded.

Tardy / Late to school

The first bell rings at 7:40 AM. A student is considered tardy if he/she is not in their classroom and ready to learn by 7:50AM. Excessive tardiness will result in a Truancy notice.

Doctor's Notes

When your child visits the doctor, dentist, or any other health professional during the school day, make sure to get a signed note from their office stating the appointment date and time. A copy of the note should be turned in to the office as soon as your child returns to school. If it is requested that your child remain out of school for an extended period of time, those exact dates must be noted on the excuse.
