Attendance is the first step in student achievement. Missing a day of school is a missed opportunity for your child to learn, have fun with their friends, and see their teacher.
If your child is absent, campuses will contact the parent or guardian in order to maintain accurate attendance records. You may contact the attendance clerk of your child’s school to notify them of any absence by clicking the Attendance Notes link below and attach a parent/doctor’s note. A parent or doctor’s note will be required when a child returns to school. An individual commits an offense if the individual fails to attend school on ten (10) or more days or parts of days within a six (6) month period or on three (3) or more days or parts of days within a four (4) week period.
In order to ensure that students are correctly placed on a school bus or waiting for car transportation at the time of dismissal, all requests to make changes in a student’s after-school mode of transportation need to be made by 3:15 p.m. All changes must be in writing. You can send a note through your child's daily folder or send an email prior to 3:15 to ncestransportation@newcaneyisd.org.
Be sure to include your complete name, phone number where you can be reached, your child’s name, and any other important information.
All cars must have a New Caney Elementary car rider tag. We ask that you place this sign on your dashboard or hang it from your review mirror so that it will be easy to locate and read.
Students will not be released to cars without the correct car tag. If you need replacement or duplicate tags, you will need to complete a Car Tag Order Form. You must show a valid id in order to receive your car tag.
If someone attempts to pick up a student and they do not have the correct car tag, they will be asked to go into the building to show proper identification before the student will be released to them.
In order to ensure the safety of all, we ask that parents not walk to the front doors to collect their child. Students will not be released in this manner until all car riders have been safely placed in the correct vehicle.
