• All students are expected to locker and report to their home room by 8:05 a.m. every day. Students arriving after this time will be considered unexcused tardy (TDY).
• A tardy is defined as a minimum of one minute of lateness to school. Eight (8) tardies to school will be considered one (1) unlawful absence in grades K-8.
• Late arrivals to school due to medical appointments (doctor, dentist, orthodontist etc.) will be excused (ET) with a note from the practitioner.
• Any late arrival where the student does not arrive by 11:30 am will be considered a full day absence.

• If it is necessary for your child to leave school early, a written request by a parent must be presented to the office upon his or her arrival to school. A pass with the dismissal time will then be given to your child (No parent sign-out required). In cases where a note is not provided ahead of time, the parent/guardian is required to sign the student out in the main office.
• Any early dismissal where the student leaves before 11:30 a.m. and does not return to school will be considered a full day absence.

• Students may be excused from school for up to 5 days of school per year for a family vacation. Family Vacation days (FV) must be pre-approved by the Principal. A Family Vacation form must be completed and turned in to the office prior to the absence. Please submit vacation requests at least 1 week in advance to Mr. DiAntonio, jdiantonio@wcasd.net . Once the request is approved, your child can pick up a Family Vacation form from the office.
