DRIVING PASS 

This is only for students with valid Driver's Licenses - To authorize a student to check out without a parent/guardian present, please fill out the Driving Pass Request Google form 24 hours in advance (the form will be open daily from 4:30 pm to 7:30 am)

• The student will be sent a "Permit to Leave - Driving Pass" prior to their departure time. 
• Upon returning to campus, the student may bypass the front office and go straight to class. The student or Parent/Guardian can submit excuse notes electronically to bowie@austinisd.org. Students do not need a pass to return to class.

• Enter the main office and present your driver's license or any official identification like a passport
• The office staff will complete the checkout process to document the student's departure from campus
• The office staff will call for your child from class or send a staff member to retrieve them

CHECK-IN PROCEDURE 

When arriving late to campus or returning from an appointment, students should check in at the main office and send a note by email to bowie@austinisd.org  from their parent or doctor before returning to class.
