10 Attendance Procedures Attendance procedures are in place to ensure students are present, engaged, and making the most of their learning opportunities each day. Consistent attendance supports academic success, builds responsibility, and fosters a safe and orderly school environment. Following these procedures helps maintain accountability and allows staff to provide timely support when needed. SIGN IN: Arriving after the 7:45 am bell? Main lobby until 8:00 am. Main office after 8:00 am. SIGN OUT: Need to leave school before 2:45 pm dismissal? Students who wish to be excused from school early MUST bring a signed note from their parent/guardian (include the reason for the request and the desired time for dismissal) to the office first thing in the morning or email PHSAttendance@mywcps.org ● School Messenger phone calls will be made/emails sent each day that a student is absent or tardy. (Note: This program uses the information listed on the Student Personal Data & Emergency Record form.) ● A student absent from school is NOT permitted to participate in any school-related activities that may be taking place that day or evening. Events students would be unable to participate in include athletics, band, choir, drama, clubs, SGA events, class projects, dances, etc. This does not include absences for excused school functions (i.e. field trips, band/choral performances, AP testing, etc.) A student should never, under any circumstances, leave school during school hours without first obtaining permission from the office or the school nurse. Students leaving school property without permission are subject to disciplinary action and will be searched upon return to property. ABSENT NOTES: A note is required for an excused absence. Such a note would include doctor’s notes, court summons, or a copy of an obituary from a death in the family. Notes should be submitted within five (5) days after returning to school from the absences. Notes from parents may also be submitted for consideration to excuse an absence from school. Only five (5) parent notes will be accepted per school year. You can submit excused notes to PHSAttendance@mywcps.org.
