Attendance
-
Attendance
at school is vital!
Studies show that student presence in the classroom is a major
factor in their performance.
Encourage your student to be in class every day.
Remind them of Wheeler’s Attendance Incentive Program—students
with two or fewer absences may exempt one final of the classes
where they have a “B” average or above! (Some classes are exempt,
check for details.)
-
Contact Ms.Gagat in the Attendance
Office with any attendance concerns. She will be happy to work
with you.
-
Always keep the school
up-to-date on your contact information!
Whenever your phone number—home, business, cell, beeper—or
address changes, send the new information to the Attendance Office
right away. Be sure you list at least one other person who can
pick up your student or give permission for them to leave, and
keep their phone number(s) current, too!
Emergency Form
-
A Student may not leave during the
day until the school contacts a parent/guardian or person on his/her
emergency contact sheet.
-
A
student is not considered present for the day unless they remain
until at least 11:45 AM.
Absences
-
When a
student has been absent he/she must bring a written statement
from a parent/guardian within 2 days of returning stating
the reason he was absent. This statement must be brought to the
Attendance Office and exchanged for a Wheeler High School Absence
Slip.
-
If
an absence is unexcused or this statement is not brought, zeroes
will be given for all work missed.
-
Absence
is excused by state law for the following reasons:
· Personal
illness
· Death
or severe illness in the immediate family
· Recognized
religious holidays observed by the student’s faith
· Government-related
excuses: absence for court appearance or otherwise mandated
by order of governmental agencies; registering to vote or voting
in a public election; serving as page of the Georgia General Assembly.
· Conditions
under which school attendance would be impossible or hazardous
to their health or safety.
· Absences
are also excused for medical appointments.
-
Students
may request approval for a personal/family “field trip” such as
a college visit where absence is unexcused but work may
be made up. Contact the Attendance Office at least 5 days in advance.
-
When
a student is absent or tardy the school’s automatic phone system
calls the home with a recorded message. If you have any question
about your student’s attendance status, please call the Attendance
Office.
Tardy, Late
Arrival
-
Students
who arrive between 8:25 and 8:40 without an excused note will
receive an unexcused tardy pass from one of the Late Arrival System
machines located in the Magnet office, the Athletic office or
Attendance and go to their first period class.
-
Students
arriving after 8:40 should go to the Attendance Office to receive
a Tardy pass.
-
If
the student does not have a written, confirmable note from a parent
or guardian he will receive an unexcused tardy.
-
Tardies
will be marked as excused or unexcused according to the absence
policy above.
Early Dismissal
-
Students
may not leave until a parent/guardian or a person on the student’s
emergency list is contacted by the Attendance Office.
-
Please
try to avoid having students leave between 3:00-3:25.
-
Parents
should send a note with the student who should bring it to the
Attendance Office in the morning. The note should contain:
·
Student and parent’s full name and time the student should
leave
·
A phone number where a parent or guardian may be contacted
by
the Attendance Office before the time the student is to
leave.
·
Reason for leaving. Absence from remaining classes is excused
or
unexcused according to the policies above.
·
Who will pick up the student, or if the student is driving
himself.
-
The
Attendance Office calls to verify the note, then a dismissal slip
is written. If a student leaves without a dismissal slip, disciplinary
action will be taken.
-
The
person who is picking up the student comes to the Attendance Office
and must show ID. The student will then meet the person who is
picking up the student in the Attendance Office.
-
If
the student is driving himself, he may pick up the dismissal slip
between classes and be released at the time on the slip by the
classroom teacher.
-
If
a parent does not send an Early Dismissal note in the morning,
the student will be called from class when the parent arrives.
-
Students
will never be released from school via a phone call, all early
dismissals must be in writing.
-
Students
who become ill while at school should obtain a teacher’s pass
to go the clinic. Here they may obtain permission to go home if
appropriate.
