ATTENDANCE PROCEDURE
Keeping track of our students is imperative for not only promoting good grades in school but for safety as well.
If you know your child will not be attending school on any given day, please help us out by calling the nurse's office at 585.889.6221. Messages are checked regularly. You can also email Nurse Shelly at shelly_palmer@wheatland.k12.ny.us.
If we do not hear from a parent, we will call the number we have on file to determine why the child is not in school. We strive to work with each and every household to maintain good attendance records and student safety.
Calling or texting your child during school hours to coordinate an early dismissal is contraindicated. Please contact the nurse's office and your child will be updated. We are unable to take the child's word for parent approval and we must connect with the parent and/ or guardian. If we know ahead of time, we will arrange for your child to be given a blue pass to leave class at the proper time. Parents/ guardians need to come into the building and sign out children. This is for safety purposes; please have ID available upon request.
In addition to obtaining a pass, children must sign "IN" & "OUT". The sheets located at the security window are pink and green in color. Should the security window be closed, the sign out sheets will be located in the main office.
Once again, we strive to work with parents to ensure a smooth process of attendance and signing in & out and we really appreciate your help and understanding that it is a process to ensure the proper safety and whereabouts of our kids.
If you have any questions, concerns or just need to contact us, please call:
