Estimadas familias de Douglass: Queremos informarles sobre un nuevo requisito de asistencia que entrará en vigor en todo El Paso ISD a partir del ciclo escolar 2026–2027. De acuerdo con la ley de Texas, los estudiantes deben asistir al menos al 90% de los días de clases. En la escuela primaria, faltar más de 17 días durante el año escolar puede afectar la promoción al siguiente grado y la calificación final. Les compartimos esta información desde ahora para que su familia pueda planificar con anticipación. ¡Gracias por ser nuestros aliados y por ayudar a que cada Dragón esté presente, aprendiendo y creciendo todos los días! Gracias, Ms. Corral

Dear Douglass Families, We want to inform you of an important new attendance requirement that will be in effect across El Paso ISD beginning with the 2026–2027 school year. Texas law requires students to attend at least 90% of the school year. For elementary students, missing more than 17 days may affect promotion and earning a final grade. We are sharing this information now so your family has time to plan ahead. Thank you for partnering with us to ensure every Dragon is present, learning, and growing every day! Thank you, Ms. Corral
