Every Day Counts!
Regular attendance in all classes is an expectation of all Austin ISD students. State law and District policy state that students must be in attendance for 90% of the instructional days for a class to receive credit. A student who misses more days than allowed by AISD policy, excused or unexcused, may not be given credit for that class unless time and/or work is made up for the absences. Students will work with the grade level administrator to complete the appropriate steps to reach compliance.
Parents: Making sure your student is in school and on time every day is the law. For more information visit the district's attendance page.
Notification
Please send in documentation of student absences using the School Absence Form on the AISD website or complete a paper form (pick up in Front Office).
We, DO NOT accept phone calls or voicemail messages as documentation for a student's absence.

burnet@austinisd.org | (512) 414 - 3225 (office)
Please have medical offices submit documentation of your student’s visit to burnet@austinisd.org.
Please allow up to 72 hours (3 business days) for attendance to be corrected.
Set up notifications for your student’s attendance and grades via Parent Self Serve. Click here to learn more about attendance descriptions and codes.
Students attending family trips during scheduled school days will remain coded as an unexcused absence. Car problems, traffic, or oversleeping will not be considered as an excused absence or excused tardy.
Tardies
- If a student arrives at school between 8:25a.m and 8:40a.m, they must report to the 1st period and will be considered tardy.
- If a student arrives after 8:40a.m, they must report to the front office and be signed in by parent/guardian.
- If a student is more than 20 minutes late to other class periods, they will be marked ABSENT by the teacher.
Check-Out Procedure
Please do not plan to pick up your student from school 30 minutes prior to dismissal (ie 3:30 PM). Parents should follow the steps below to check out their student from school for an appointment or other reasons:
- Park at the front of the building or in the side-lot by the field.
- Enter the main office and present your driver's license or any official identification like a passport.
- The office staff will complete the checkout process to document the student's departure from campus.
- The office staff will call for your student from class or send a staff member to retrieve them.
Parent/guardian must sign the student out in the front office. Leaving for any part of the day will result in an unexcused tardy. Students leaving for a medical appointment must bring a note from the doctor to excuse the absence/tardy.
