2021 – 2022 Attendance Guidelines
Gordon Bailey Middle School has an amazing staff of professionals to provide an exceptional learning experience for your child. In order to receive full benefit from the educational services provided, your child needs to arrive on time, stay for the entire school day, and be in attendance every day. Class begins promptly at 8:20 a.m. each day.
Students must have 90% of attendance per class in order to receive credit.
What to do if your child must be absent from school:
-
Please email any absences to our Attendance Specialist, Angelica Garcia at bailey@austinisd.org
-
If you choose to keep your child home because they are too ill to attend school due to vomiting or fever, please email bailey@austinisd.org explaining the reason for the absence.
-
If your child visits a doctor or dentist, an excuse must be sent via email to bailey@austinisd.org
-
Please try to schedule appointments in the afternoon.
What to do if your child must leave school early:
-
Please schedule all necessary appointments as late in the afternoon as possible. This will prevent your child from missing instruction time during a class.
-
When you arrive to the Akins campus to pick up your child, please be prepared with your photo I.D. Your child will be called to the main office and provided with a permit to leave campus.
What to do if your child is tardy to school:
-
Only AISD transportation late arrivals will be considered excused. Please send a note with scholar explaining the reason for being late. If it was for an appointment, please send the doctor’s note.
Steps taken by Bailey to insure student attendance:
-
Student attendance is reviewed on a daily basis.
-
A letter is generated by Austin Independent School District (AISD) to inform parents about compliance with state compulsory attendance laws after a student accumulates 3 full day absences and 10 full day absences without parent documentation. State law mandates that if a student misses 10 days or partial days within a six-month period that the school must file charges against the parent for non-compliance in accordance with compulsory attendance laws. Students are also dropped from Bailey for non-attendance.
