Parent and Guardian Involvement:

We encourage parents and guardians to partner with us to ensure their student's regular attendance. If you have questions, concerns, or need assistance related to attendance, please feel free to reach out.

Reporting Absences:

To report a student's absence, please email vmhsattendance@judsonisd.org.

Use the subject heading Excuse Note for absence-excuse notes.

Use the subject heading Early Dismissal for early dismissals.

Please remember that any early dismissals will still require that you submit excuse notes if your student misses class.
