TAKE ATTENDANCE SERIOUSLY

It’s common for students to experience a significant increase in chronic absenteeism during the winter months due to an increase in typical illnesses. If your child must be absent due to illness, please email WCESResidency@fultonschools.org, your child’s (1) legal first and last name, (2) teacher’s name, (3) all the dates your child was absent, and the (4) reason for missing school. Please also copy your child's homeroom teacher on the email. It is important to include a photo or scanned image of the doctor’s note, if you take your child to be seen. If your child is missing a lot of school due to illness, please reach out to our clinic assistant, Ms. Ankita Doshi, for guidance. Chronic absenteeism occurs when students miss 10% or more of school for any reason.

Additionally, it's important that kids arrive to school on time every day. Please remember that our car rider line can back up closer to 7:30. Consider being in line closer to 7:10 or by having your child ride the school bus to prevent tardies.

Your WCES Running Club Coaches

A new semester is a chance to recommit to excellent attendance. Every school day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and prepare for success.

Attending school regularly in January sets a pattern—students who attend 90% or more this month are more likely to meet year-end goals.

The late bell rings at 7:40am. Students should be in their classroom ready to learn at that time.

Please email WCESResidency@fultonchools.org and copy your child’s teacher when your child is absent.
