• Please use the following email address to notify the attendance clerk when your student is going to be absent.

    We hope this information helps to clarify our attendance procedures and expectations. As a reminder, Shepton High School is a closed campus. 

    ***All students MUST be signed out by a parent or emergency contact from parent portal*** Below are some helpful tips for attendance and making it a great year: 

    • If your student needs to leave early, please send a note with your student in the morning with your signature. This will help us know when to call the student down to be ready when you arrive. It must include: 

      • Date and Time of Departure 

      • Student name o Reason o Parent Signature 

     

    • Parent / Doctor / Court / Misc. notes must be received within 3 days upon return from an absence with the current date, student name, date of absence, reason of absence, and a signature. If a note is not received, the absence will be unexcused. Doctor notes are always good to have. You may refer to PISD Policy for excused and unexcused absences. 

    • If you plan to have an older sibling, grandparent, or an emergency person pick up your student throughout the year, please add them to the Parent portal for PISD. 

             https://parentviewer.pisd.edu/. A note will not be needed if they are on the emergency pickup list. 

    • Students will be marked tardy during the first 10 minutes per period. If a student is 11 minutes late to a class period, it will be counted as an absence (excused or unexcused TBD). 

    • If you forget to send a note, you may send one via fax @ 469-752-7601 or email an attached note with your signature to SheptonAttendance@pisd.edu. A phone call or just an email will not work. 

    If you have any questions, please give us a call. We appreciate your support!
