As the weather gets colder and the holidays get closer we wanted to send some reminders:

• If your student will be absent due to illness, please call the office, submit via Power School, or email Mrs. Sowers.
• When your student returns to school, please submit an excuse within 3 days of their return to avoid an unexcused absence.
• If your student will be a parent pick up notify the office directly. You may message you student's teacher, however, we ask that you notify the office as well so we can place them on the pick up list.
• If your student will be absent due to a trip, please fill out an educational field trip form. A form needs to be filled for your student's absence to be excused. You can find the form here, via the district website: https://www.wssd.k12.pa.us/StudentAttendance.aspx

Please be aware for conference days/times to come from your student's teacher. November 1, 2024 will be a designated conference day, however, your student's teacher may offer other times as well. Reach out to your student's teacher if you have any questions or concerns.
