School Zone Locator:
The School Zone Locator tool allows Red Oak ISD residents to type in their physical address to see exactly what elementary they are residentially zoned to attend. The tool also allows you to zoom into a neighborhood and click on a specific lot to find the same information. If an address is entered outside of Red Oak ISD boundary lines, the system will not indicate a zoned campus.

Attendance Snapshot times are as following:
- High School – 10:10 a.m.
- Middle School – 9:00 a.m.
- All Elementary Schools – 9:30 a.m.
Regular school attendance is essential for the student to make the most of his or her education — to benefit from teacher-led and school activities, to build each day’s learning on the previous day’s, and to grow as an individual. Absences from class may result in serious disruption of a student’s mastery of the instructional materials; therefore, the student and parent should make every effort to avoid unnecessary absences. Student attendance records are recorded in the student’s permanent file and can be an asset or liability in terms of future employment.Compulsory Attendance in Texas Schools
The State of Texas requires that, unless exempt by Section 25.086, a child who is at least six years of age, or who is younger than six years of age who has previously been enrolled in first grade, and has not yet reached the child’s 18th birthday shall attend school. [Education Code 25.085 (b)]
OFFICIAL WARNING NOTICE
If a student fails to attend school without excuse on 10 or more days or parts of days within a six-month period in the same school year, the student's parent is subject to prosecution under Section 25.093, and the student is subject to referral to a truancy court for truant conduct under Section 65.003(a), Family Code.

Tips for Good Attendance
- Get your child to school on time, every day, and stay all day!
- Give your child enough time to get ready for school in the morning.
- Monitor your child’s attendance through Skyward Family Access.
- Work with healthcare providers for appointments after school for non-emergency situations.
- Plan family vacations during non-school days.
- Follow proper guidelines for reporting excused absences in a timely manner.
What to do if your child refuses to go to school?
- Check report cards for absences, low conduct marks or grades.
- Call the school if you think your child has been skipping school or has been truant.
- If the school calls you, DO NOT COVER UP to get your students off the hook. You are only teaching them that there are no consequences for breaking rules.
Remember: Kids need parents who care enough to enforce rules and are available to provide help when it’s needed.

Classroom attendance is tied to classroom success. Statistics show students who attend school every day have higher grades and lower discipline issues! When students are absent, they miss opportunities to learn, build friendships, and develop the skills and attitudes needed to become good citizens. The Red Oak ISD Attendance Campaigns encourages students to be at school every day, be on time every day and stay all day. The fact is that attendance raises a student’s chance of scoring well on exams and securing college admission.
Did you know that high school graduates earn 38% more than those who drop out and college graduates bring in 140% more?
How do Attendance Campaigns work?
ROISD provides incentives for perfect attendance by awarding prizes at the end of the school year. Beginning in the 2023-2024 school year, all students who had perfect attendance received a $50 gift card and were celebrated at an ROISD Board Meeting.
In addition, ROISD celebrates teacher attendance and student/teacher attendance at each campus.
-
- Individual employees from each campus who have 2 or fewer absences are eligible for a semester (fall and spring) drawing for a $500 drawing.
- The elementary and secondary school with the highest combined staff and student attendance for the year received $2,500.

DREAMS - ROISD Truancy Class
Red Oak ISD recognizes and values the importance of school attendance and looks forward to educating and supporting students and parents during this school year.
Red Oak ISD's online truancy class - DREAMS - is an information-based tool offered to the students and parents of Red Oak ISD as a truancy prevention measure (TPM). This class will be offered to students and parents once during each school year. Success on this quiz will require a score of 80 or higher. The quiz link is available at the end of the presentation.
Students and/or parents may be required to attend an in-person truancy class if this intervention fails to improve the students' attendance.
2024-2025 DREAMS class dates - TBD:
Failure to comply with any assigned Truancy Prevention Measures may result in a Contributing to Non-Attendance charge against the parent or a Truant Conduct charge against the student. For more information on Texas compulsory attendance laws and Red Oak ISD's attendance procedures, please review our attendance website.
An online class option is now available for Truancy Prevention Measures. Successful completion of a quiz by the student for grades 9-12, parent for grades 6-8, and parent for grades PK-5 will equal half (1/2) day of truant classroom time.
