MORE IMPORTANT PARENT INFORMATION:
ILLNESS, LATE, OR LEAVING EARLY: Please call the office (532-5553) if your child is ill, coming in late or being picked up early as all communication needs to go through the WMS Office. Please ask for an appointment slip when attending any doctor, dentist, etc. appointment. These absences will be fully excused and will not count against your child's excused 10 days/absences from school. (Please Do Not Email the teachers as they may miss an important parent email due to classroom instruction commitments.) Messages can be left on the office voicemail anytime, as it is checked often. (Also, if someone other than a parent is picking up or dropping off your child, please let us know their name and have the person listed in Skyward as an emergency contact.)
ABSENT/VACATION/HUNTING SHEET: If your child is going to be missing one or several days of school, they should stop by the office for a planned absence sheet. Students can ask their teachers for the homework assignments that they will be missing while gone. When this sheet is filled out, it needs to be signed by a parent and returned to the office to ensure the dates will be noted in our Skyward system.
CHANGE OF BUS PLANS: If your child is planning to ride a different bus, please send a note to the Bus Driver stating that you give permission for your child to do so.
