School Visitation

You are welcome to visit your school during the instructional day. Galena Park ISD and school policy require that all visitors report to the office and sign in prior to any visit in the school. If you wish to visit your child’s classroom, you need to make such arrangements with the classroom teacher prior to your visit.

Parent/teacher conferences are held before and after school so as not to interrupt valuable instructional time. Please make your appointment directly with the teacher. In addition, it is not permitted to confer with a teacher after the 7:45 a.m. bell, since this is the beginning of the students’ instructional day.

Student Attendance

At Cimarron Elementary School it is our firm belief that good attendance promotes high student achievement. Therefore, we will strictly enforce all state guidelines regarding student attendance, which allows students no more than five (5) absences per semester. Any absences in excess of this amount will cause your child to be retained. 

Students are excused when absent due to personal illness, sickness or death in the immediate family, quarantine, weather or road conditions making travel dangerous, and participation in school activities with unusual circumstances as recognized by the principal. Students who have been absent must present a written excuse from their parent or guardian upon their return to school. If a child does not bring a written excuse the absence will be counted as unexcused. Excessive unexcused absences may result in a student being retained at the end of the school year. 

If your child is absent 3 consecutive days or has a pattern of being absent from school an attendance officer will visit you at home. If the absenteeism is unexcused and your child still does not attend school, you will get a warning for possible court proceedings. Please keep in mind that it is state law that children attend school.
