Policies & procedures

Arrival and dismissal

School hours for grades PreK-5 are 8:10 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Attendance information

All students are required to be in school every day. We understand that illness occurs and doctor appointments must be made occasionally, but every effort needs to be made to have your child in class.

  • The following absences require a note within 3 days in order to be excused:
    • Illness - note written by parent.
    • Excessive absences due to illness will require doctor notes.
    • Doctor appointment - note written by the Doctor (appointment for child only).
    • Religious holiday other than GISD scheduled holidays - note written by the religious leader or program from the celebration.
    • Death in the family - note written by parent (up to 3 days excused for out of town services).
  • All notes need to include the child's name, date of absence, reason for absence and date note is written.
  • If a student needs to leave early during the day, an adult must come to the office and ask for the student, presenting a driver's license or ID for identification and verification by office staff that the adult is allowed to pick up the student.
  • A student who arrives after 8:10 a.m. will be given a tardy slip.
