REGISTRATION/PARENT PORTAL
CSID requires all students to re-enroll every school year during the summer using Parent Portal to ensure the most current student information is on file.
Grade updates, progress reports, and report cards are posted on Parent Portal throughout the school year. Printed report cards will also be sent home with students every 9 weeks.
Parent Portal: "Contacts": Please make sure your student's Parent Portal contact list stays current throughout the school year. Anytime contact information changes and needs to be updated you may do so through the Portal. Accurate information is vital as students will only be released at dismissal to individuals who are marked with a "right to transfer" on the contact list.
ATTENDANCE
90% LAW: The state of Texas requires students to be present 90% of the school year in order to receive credit for their current grade level.
Attendance is taken every day at 9:30AM. Your student must be on campus at this time to be counted present for the day.
WHEN ABSENT: Only 4 days total, per semester can be excused by a PARENT NOTE (parent signed excuse). For all absences exceeding 4, a doctor's note or other formal documentation is required.
All excuse notes must be turned in to the Front Office within 3 school days of the student's absence.
