YMCA Before and After School Care Feedback Needed
The YMCA is asking for feedback on whether or not your family will access the before and/or after school program for the 2024-25 school year. Please complete this brief survey by May 1.
A Note About Absences
Coming to school every day, ready to learn, is important for your child's success. It's also required by state law for children between the ages of 7 and 16.
Excused absences include:
- illness or injury
- a death in the family
- health care appointments
- court appearances
- religious observance
- natural disasters
- outside educational opportunities (you'll need to complete the Request For Excused Absence For Educational Reasons Form | Request For Excused Absence For Educational Reasons (Spanish) in advance)
You'll need to provide a note within two days of your child's return to school or the absences will be recorded as unexcused. Your teachers will notify you if there are three or more unexcused absences and will work with you and your child if there is a concern that absences are becoming excessive.
Please note that per policy you will automatically receive an attendance phone call each day your child is absent. WCPSS will also send out attendance letters after (6) unexcused days and again after (10) unexcused days. Your administration and the school Social Worker will also be notified of the excessive absences.
Parkside Beautification Day Rescheduled to April 20th
School Beautification Day has been rescheduled to April 20th. We still have the opportunity to roll up our sleeves and spruce up our school grounds.
