ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Our goal at the WES is to ensure that every student attends school regularly and is actively engaged in their learning. Attending school regularly has a huge impact on a student’s academic success and helps them feel better about school—and themselves. Families play a key role in building this habit, so that students learn that going to school on time, everyday is important. Developing the skill of consistent attendance will help students succeed in their academic career as a student and through college and in the workplace.
While some absences are unavoidable due to health problems or other circumstances, when students miss too much school— regardless of the reason – it often causes them to fall behind academically. Please assist us with ensuring that your student is in school and on time daily.
Students arriving at school after 8:40 are considered tardy and must report to the office before proceeding to class.
DISMISSAL REMINDER
Please be reminded that there are NO EARLY DISMISSALS IN THE BUILDING AFTER 2:15 PM. Any dismissal after 2:15 PM must get in the parent pick up line and pick up during regular dismissal.
