El Paso ISD 90% attendance requirement will be in effect for the 2026-27 school year. 

Students must attend at least 90% of the school days or class periods in order to receive course credit or a final grade, as required by Texas law. 

For Elementary students, missing more than 17 days during a typical school year may affect whether they automatically can earn credit or a final grade.  

In middle and high school, attendance is tracked by individual class periods each semester, so repeatedly missing the same class can become an issue even if a student attends school the rest of the day. In middle school, missing a class more than 8 times in the Fall semester or more than 9 times in spring semester will result in loss of credit.  In high school as students are on an A/B schedule, missing a class more than 4 times in a semester will result in loss of credit.
