Attendance- Excused Absences with Parent Notification
Dear Parent/Guardian, At Marble Falls ISD, we believe that regular school attendance is essential to every student’s academic success. We are committed to partnering with families to support students in attending school consistently and staying engaged in their learning. We understand there may be times when a student needs to miss school due to illness or other personal matters that may not require a doctor’s visit. To support families while meeting state attendance requirements, Marble Falls ISD allows up to 3 days of excused absences per school year with a parent/guardian notification. A common example of an excused absence with a parent note is when a student is experiencing a personal illness and is unable to attend school. In these cases, parent/guardian notification must be submitted to the school within 5 school days of the student’s return. Notification includes a note, an email, or a phone call to the attendance office. When providing this notification, please include the following: The student’s full name The date(s) of the absence The reason for the absence The parent/guardian signature if providing a handwritten note Once a student exceeds the 3 allowable excused absences with notification, any additional absences will require official documentation from a healthcare provider to be considered excused. If you have any questions or need additional support related to attendance, please contact the campus attendance clerk. We appreciate your attention to this attendance procedure and your continued partnership in supporting your child’s education. Sincerely, Stan Whittle Stan Whittle Assistant Superintendent of Administration

2nd TSL (Tx. Strategic Leadership) Survey
Good afternoon, Parents – I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Last week, we shared the survey link below to help us get a clearer picture of student engagement. So far, about 10% of our parents have responded, and we’d love to see that number grow before the survey closes this Friday. A few quick reminders: The survey is completely anonymous. It takes about 10 minutes to complete. This survey is different from the short two-question one sent out about 2 ½ weeks ago. If you’re unsure whether you’ve already completed it, don’t worry—it’s anonymous, so there’s no way to check, and there’s no need to take it again. Here’s the link to the survey: https://region13.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9pq9JqIHrCt4eFM Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your input. Your feedback helps us better support our students and ensure they have the best experience possible. Thank you! jeff Jeff Gasaway, Ed. D. Superintendent 830-693-4357

Parent/Guardian Survey Step 2
Good afternoon parents – I hope you all had a great weekend of rest. About 10 days ago, I reached out to families asking them to complete a short survey that gave the district (and Region 13) some initial data about student learning experiences in just a few words. The reason for this survey and the one below is through a partnership with the Texas Education Agency and a program called Texas Strategic Leadership. During our journey, we will be looking at different campuses, instructional practices, and striving to push our district to grow. Their initial survey was just a first step. A second step in their process is to survey our parents/guardians with more questions. Below is the anonymous survey link for our parents/guardians and should only take 10 minutes for you to finish. Family: https://region13.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9pq9JqIHrCt4eFM The survey will be open for 2 weeks. Thank you! jeff Jeff Gasaway, Ed. D. Superintendent 830-693-4357

Safe Storage of Firearms
August 25th, 2025 Dear Parent or Guardian: Texas law now requires school districts to distribute information to parents and guardians about the safe storage of firearms. The attached information will help you learn about options for, as well as how to talk to your child and others about, the safe storage of firearms. It is unlawful to store, transport, or abandon an unsecured firearm in a place where children are likely to be and can obtain access to the firearm. Under Texas Penal Code 46.13 , a person commits the offense of making a firearm accessible to a child if the child gains access to a readily dischargeable firearm, and the person with criminal negligence: Failed to secure the firearm; or Left the firearm in a place to which the person knew or should have known the child would gain access The penalty for allowing a child access to a firearm can range from a Class C misdemeanor (punishable by a $500 fine) to a Class A misdemeanor (punishable by a $4000 fine, a year in jail, or a combination of the two). Texas exempts the purchase of firearm safety equipment from Texas Sales and Use Tax . Remember, a gun should be stored unloaded in a safe or locked container, with ammunition stored elsewhere. You can learn more and find additional resources from the Texas Department of Public Safety at https://safegunstoragetexas.com . Sincerely, Dr Jeff Gasaway
