Attendance for Credit

Directions for parents regarding Atendance for Credit

According to Texas State Law, each student must be in attendance 90 percent of the days the class is offered.

Absences received beginning on Oct. 12th and so forth will count towards our Principal Plan and loss of credit.

For more questions regarding your student's attendance, eamil our Attendance Offict at btwattendance@dallasisd.org

Remember Attendance Matters!

The final deadline for students on a Principal's Plan to complete their required Seat Time is May 27h, 2022.

If your student is on the Principal's Plan and have not completed the required Seat Time hours, your student will be denied course credit, even if they have passed the class.
