Picture Makeups & Retakes
Families who are still virtual were sent an email sign up for timeslots on December 1st. Virtual families may also opt to submit a picture to mjohnston@waukesha.k12.wi.us by February 1, 2021 to be included in the yearbook without coming in to be photographed.
Welcome Kristi Allen!
"Virtual" attendance clarification
In these cases, PLEASE DO NOT use Safe Arrival to report the absence. You MUST call or email Amber Williams in the Health Room so she can help determine your student's return to school date. You may reach her at 262-970-2315 or awilliams@waukesha.k12.wi.us. Healthy but quarantined students are expected to participate by checking in with the teacher and submitting work each day via Blackboard and Google Classroom on their iPads. Please be patient with teachers when reaching out with questions during quarantine, they are doing their very best to support students at home while still giving appropriate focus to their in person class. Your student will not be penalized in any way if they are unable to complete an assignment while you are waiting to hear from the teacher.
ALL other absences should be reported as usual using the safe arrival system and students will be marked excused as in past years. If you report your student absent with a reason of "OTHER", you must also follow up with Amber Williams to provide additional detail.
We realize that there is little that is "normal" about this year. We are all doing our best to make life work. That being said, there are no penalties/attendance letters for properly excused absences this year.
