PAGE MIDDLE SCHOOL

Page Middle Families,

Here is a brief example of our weekly newsletter. I will be sending one like this every Sunday. This is a great way to keep up with school information throughout the year.

I am very excited to start school on Monday and see all of our students walking the hallways. I and the staff have missed them.

Go Panthers!

Dr. Eric Lifsey

Fall Sports Picture Day

ATTENDANCE: Parents or legal guardians may submit notes for students to be excused for the first five (5) absences per semester, for any reason. To be excused, notes must be provided by the parent or legal guardian and received by the school within five (5) school days of the absence. After five (5) days of total absences per semester, official documentation, such as a medical note, should be submitted in order for the absence to be excused. Please submit absence notes to the front office or to the Attendance Secretary, Connie Lamb, at constance.lamb@wcs.edu. Attendance may be monitored in Skyward from the Parent Access Account.

EXTENDEND ABSENCES: If your child is going to be absent for several days, for sickness, sports, travel, etc., PLEASE CONTACT THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE PRIOR TO THE STUDENT BEING GONE. Contacting the child's Homeroom teacher will not automatically excuse the absences. Some absences must be pre-approved by Dr. Lifsey to be excused.

ALL ATHLETIC TRYOUT INFORMATION IS POSTED ON THE PAGE MIDDLE WEBSITE, AND FORMS CAN BE PICKED UP OUTSIDE THE PMS GYM.

Please drop off forgotten items for your student, ESPECIALLY LUNCHES, in the front office by 10:15 a.m. If an item is not dropped off before that time, the student may not receive it until the end of the day.

Also, no outside food is allowed in the building. Parents/students may not bring in food from Sonic, Chick-fil-A, Starbuck's, etc.

Thank you for understanding!

PLEASE SEND ALL TRANSPORTATION CHANGES TO RACHEL WEBB at rachel.webb@wcs.edu IN THE FRONT OFFICE BY 2:00 p.m. CHANGES THAT ARE SENT AFTER 2:00 MAY NOT GET TO YOUR CHILD IN TIME. THANK YOU!

EQUALS BEFORE SCHOOL DETENTION ON THE NEXT LATE START DAY.

NO BUS PASSES AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. Per direction from the WCS Transportation Department, we CANNOT write bus passes for students to ride a bus other than their own. Thank you for your understanding.
