Please be sure to check Argyle West Attendance Policies in our Student Handbook for more details.  Here are a few reminders:

• Reporting Absences –  If a student is absent due to an illness or a medical appointment it is the responsibility of the parent to notify the attendance office of the absence.   Please use the AWE Report an Absence form by 9:30 a.m. each day to report an absence due to illness or medical appointments.  If the absence is due to a medical appointment please provide a medical note when your student returns.   

• The official attendance is taken every day at 9:30 A.M.
   

• If your student misses during attendance time (9:30 am) due to a doctor’s appointment but attends school for the rest of the day please send a doctor’s note, as we still receive funding for these types of absences. We do not receive funding for all-day absences even with a doctor’s note however they are considered excused. 
  
  
• Documentation- **Please provide a doctor’s note to the office within 3 days of absence for it to be excused. You may also use the Report an Absence form on our webpage.
   

If you have any questions regarding attendance at Argyle West, please email Kathryn Copeland at kathryn.copeland@argyleisd.com.
