ATTENDANCE POLICY

Every minute Counts!

· School Starts at 7:40am and the final bell rings at 7:50am.

· Your student’s attendance directly affects their success and we want them to SUCCEED!

· 3 Parent Notes for excused absences will be accepted for each student per year.

· If your student has 10+ unexcused absences in a 6 month period, your case will be referred to attendance court.

· If your student has 18+ total absences, excused or unexcused, the attendance committee will review absences and create a program for credit recovery in order to prevent retention.

To better dismiss our students in a safe and organized manner, please do not ask for students to be dismissed between 3:00 and 3:20.

To ensure that all students arrive home safely, please call the office before 2:30 to make changes to transportation at dismissal.

In order to keep our students safe, the entrance from 8th street will allow families to park in the parking lot, walk down to the student area, and pick up or drop off students. The parking lot exit is a right turn only onto Duke street. No left hand turns into the drive through lanes will be allowed from the parking lot area. Families using the drive through lanes will need to enter from Duke street.

Pre-K Bus Transportation

This year Weatherford ISD will offer full day Pre-K classes at Ikard and Seguin Elementary campuses.

• Students who travel by bus from home will remain on that bus until they are dropped off at their Pre-K campus (Ikard or Seguin). Most will ride directly to the Pre-K campus but a few will be transferred to another bus for drop off at Ikard or Seguin.
• Pre-K students who walk, bike, or are dropped off at their neighborhood campus will be supervised until they board a bus to take them to either Ikard or Seguin.

A parent or guardian must be present to receive the Pre-K student when the bus returns them to their neighborhood campus.

Requesting Bus Transportation

Families needing bus transportation for their students need to sign up for this service each year. Returning families should sign up through the enrollment verification process as early as possible to avoid delays.

In addition, all families may request bus transportation by visiting the Transportation Web-page and completing the Bus Ridership Form. These forms may be faxed, emailed, or delivered to the Transportation Department.
