Every Day Counts Regular attendance in all classes is an expectation of all Austin ISD students. State law and District policy state that students must be in attendance for 90% of the instructional days for a class to receive credit. Please contact campus administration for assistance with attendance matters, especially if your student’s attendance falls below 90%. Campus administration is committed to working with students and families to support consistent attendance and ongoing access to school.
