Here are some guide lines for making your visit a success ful one. 1. Visit with your child's teacher ahead of time to get an idea of a good time to visit. 2. Avoid bringing younger chil dren into the classroom. Distractions often make it difficult for some stu dents to concentrate and learn. 3. Plan any special activities with the teacher before your visit (birth day cake, etc.) Student visitors from otherschools '. are not allowed at WSE. Only en rolled students at WSE will be al-; lowed to attend the regular class- room. ' Attendance & Absence Warm Springs Elementary en courages all students to attend school daily. Many times during the year attendance is recognized and re- warded. Students who come to school regularly in the elementary grades ' . ! 1 . -;oyM have a greater chance of graduating from high school than students who do not have regular attendance. Now is the time to start setting positive attendance habits that carry through the future school and employment experiences. The following notes highlight important details of the WSE attendance policy: 1. Please send a note or call the office explaining student absences. 2. Students leaving the school grounds must be checked out through the school office. 3. Attendance will be monitored by the principal, community liaison and school counselor. 4. Make-up work may be provide by the teacher. Please allow one day for gathering materials. Call or drop by the office to make arrangements for homework. Make-up work is of ten not as effective as the classroom instruction. 5. Outstanding attendance awards will be given to any student with four or less tardies, half or all-day ab sences (in any combination) for the school year. 6. Perfect attendance awards will be given for zero absences or tardi ness. Emergency School Closure Hazardous weather or other emer gency situations that threaten the health or safety of studentsstaff may delay the beginning of the school day or cancel classes entirely. These de lays or closures may affect all schools in the district or only WSE, and will be made in extreme circumstances only.
