Attendance and Tardies:
Did you know that for every day a student is absent from class, AISD loses $60 in revenue from the state? Considering we have over 80,000 students, the loss can really add up. If we raise attendance by just 1% district-wide, it would result in millions of additional revenue from the state. That is money that goes directly into your child's education. Students who miss school miss out. Attendance boosts student achievement and improves the quality of your child's educational experience.
We would like to thank all of the parents who make sure their students arrive to school on time and ready to learn before 7:40am. This gives students a positive start and helps them not miss out on important academic and community building that begin right after the morning bell. Our teachers work hard to be ready to welcome their students and provide a stable routine each morning. Therefore, we would like to respect their time and dedication to our children.
To see your student's attendance record, visit your Parent Cloud or TEAMS app. Click here for more district information regarding attendance.
