PAGE MIDDLE SCHOOL

Page Middle Families,

There are a lot of things happening at Page Middle this week. This week is Celebrate Freedom week and all week will have spirit week dress up. We have rescheduled the Tailgate for this Thursday and and we plan to have a Pep Rally during the school day. Please make sure to get your tickets. Fingers crossed the weather cooperates.

There are many clubs that are forming please see the information later in this newsletter. More will be forming throughout the year so read the newsletter each week to stay informed.

Our PTO has begun the Invest in Page campaign. Please see the information later in the email. Your contributions are greatly appreciated and allow Page Middle to provide higher levels of equipment and activities for the students and staff.

Go Panthers!

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.
