Why Attendance Matters at the Elementary Level
At City View Elementary, we know that consistent attendance sets the stage for long-term success. Here’s why showing up every day matters:
✅ Boosts Academic Achievement
Missing just 2 days a month (10%) can make it harder for students to learn foundational skills like reading and math.
🧠 Supports Daily Learning
Each day builds on the last. Students who attend regularly are more likely to stay on track and avoid falling behind.
🕒 Reduces Risk of Retention
Students who miss 16 or more days may be required to attend summer school or risk being retained.
💬 Builds Social Skills and Routines
Attending school every day helps children develop friendships, follow routines, and feel part of the school community.
⭐ Increases Self-Esteem and Confidence
Regular attendance helps students feel more confident, prepared, and successful in class.
🎯 Keeps Students Eligible for Incentives
City View offers attendance incentives throughout the year — don’t miss out on the rewards!
⚠️ Prevents Truancy Issues
Ten or more unexcused absences in a semester can result in truancy filings.
📏 Meets the Texas 90% Rule
The state of Texas requires students to be in attendance at least 90% of the school year (no more than 16 absences) to earn credit and be promoted. This includes both excused and unexcused absences.

Yesterday was our very first Mustang Ambassador Workshop and let me just say, I’m proud beyond words. The students who showed up today came ready to grow, learn, and lead!
We spent time digging into the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, did some hands-on leadership activities, and practiced public speaking and how to give a good, confident handshake. We also talked a lot about first impressions—how the way we carry ourselves can open doors and set the tone for great things.
This group is special. We’ve got some awesome plans lined up—community service projects, greeting students in the mornings, and helping welcome new families to our campus.
Big thank you to the staff and presenters who stepped up today—you made it all come together. We’re just getting started, and I’m so excited about where this is going.

📚 ATTENDANCE MATTERS! 🕒
In Texas, attendance isn’t just a number — it directly affects your child’s learning, success, and even promotion to the next grade. Every minute counts!
Many parents think missing “just a few days” doesn’t matter — but over time, it adds up. Take a look at this chart 👇 to see how even small absences have a big impact over 13 years of school.
✅ In Texas, students must attend at least 90% of instructional days to receive credit or be promoted. That means missing more than 18 days in a school year could put your child at risk.
💡 Help us help your child succeed:
Schedule appointments after school
Avoid unnecessary absences
Notify the school of absences with a written note or an email
Stay in touch with your child’s teacher and campus
Make attendance a priority — every day!
Let’s work together to give every Mustang the best shot at a strong future. 💙🐴
