PADDOCK ROAD ATTENDANCE

⏰ School Starts at 8:30 AM

Please ensure students arrive on time and are in their classrooms and seated by 8:30 AM. The tardy bell rings at this time.

🔔 Morning Arrival

📞 Absences & Tardies
If your child will be late or absent, please contact both their teacher and Mrs. Carrie Koneck at
📧 koneck.carrie@westside66.net

📅 Half-Days & Late Starts
Important learning still takes place on half-days and late-start days. We appreciate your partnership in helping your child be present and engaged!

Please attempt to make appointments early or late in the day to reduce missed classroom time.

Remember to bring a note from the provider to the main office so it can be logged in the attendance record.

In education, every minute matters. Please make every effort to plan vacations, trips, and student absences around school breaks.

Role Model the Importance of Education

Students learn about the importance of being on time and accountable at school, work, & other obligations by watching the adults in their lives. This is an essential life skill we can all teach them together.

**School staff recognize that some students have unique situations that may affect their attendance (health conditions, IEP’s, injuries, etc) which require a more individualized approach to the attendance guidelines.
