Field Trips

Marked absent due to on campus activity, field trip, or Testing (FLD, UIL, SCH, or TST) 

McCallum scholars should speak with the teacher themselves and then have them an adjustment for any attendance mistakes, when needed. They may come to the attendance office if they have any questions after that (before/after school or during lunchtime). The teacher will have to report attendance changes to me with a specific teacher only form. (Teachers/Coaches) *Adjustments are not processed to any attendance record without a official note or correction from staff or admin etc.

Field trips/sport event attendance

Field trips/sport event attendance are marked normally by the teachers assigned to the student’s period(s) as unexcused when a student is not present in class, as required, and then will be updated after the event by the attending teacher, it is a requirement for them to do so but then is also a process which may take a while to update. *If it has been more than 5 working days, please contact the teacher/coach your student was present with at an event to double check they were on the list submitted. *If your student is testing, they will likely not be in a regular scheduled class for attendance. The teacher will mark them absent and then within a few days the attendance specialist will single handedly fix each student's attendance with the attendance sheet that is taken in the testing room. It is not allowed to pre-post or fix attendance this same day. Parents/Guardians will ALWAYS get a notification of missed regular class periods - it will be updated as soon as possible.
