Attendance Matters

Ina Laycock

Why Attendance Matters - Attendance is about more than just academics.

Daily attendance:

  • Builds confidence
  • Strengthens relationships
  • Keeps students connected and ready for what’s next

Updated Absence Guidelines

Absences are excused when a parent or guardian notifies the school.

Once a student reaches 10 total absences, they are considered to be approaching chronic absenteeism.

 At that point, documentation (such as a doctor’s note or official paperwork) will be required for any further absences to be excused.

 

Notifications through ParentSquare will occur in case of

  • Daily Absence: 8:45 a.m.
  • Afternoon Missed Period: 2:00 p.m.
  • Health Office Visit Notifications: 2:55 p.m

 

Families will also receive alerts when a student reaches:

  • 5 absences – Information and support options included
  • 10 absences – Next steps and required documentation

 

Together, we can make every day count! Your dedication to consistent attendance supports your child’s learning, strengthens our school community, and keeps our Wolf Pack thriving. We appreciate you! #WeAreTheWeikelWay
