WMS 23-24 SY Calendar100% Attendance is our goal - please help us meet this goal!
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Good attendance is critical to student success. Also, it’s the law that every parent/guardian is responsible for every child under their care and supervision to receive adequate education and attend school. Waimea Middle School expects 95% attendance, which is a goal used by the state to foster academic progress. We recognize children may occasionally not be able to attend school because of illness and we do not want children who are sick or injured to attend. We also recognize family emergencies. However, we urge families to please avoid scheduling appointments, trips or activities that impact regular on-time attendance for the full school day.
Families must report absences daily with a phone call and a written note when the student returns to school. School Messenger calls go out at 9 AM for students that are absent to keep families informed.
Please note: Three (3) days of absences within a 30 day period are considered “chronic” absenteeism. After five (5) days of absences, a letter may be sent to the parent/guardians. After ten (10) days of absences, a court petition may be filed.
