Attendance Matters ALL Day, Every Day!
Wheatley's school day begins promptly each day at 9 am and ends at 4 pm. Students dismissed anytime before 4pm, regardless of reason, will have instructional minutes deducted and their attendance record will reflect a decreased attendance percentage. A student is tardy when they arrive 1-15 minutes after 9 am and are considered late anytime after 9:16 am. Both instances deduct instructional minutes from the student and negatively impact student's attendance percentage.
Our goal this year is to 90/90 (90% of students present 90% of the year)! In our commitment to this goal, every 1st Thursday of the month we will recognize students and families who have maintained 100% attendance (no late arrivals, early dismissals, no absences) for the previous month through an EXCLUSIVE invitation to "Attendance Night."
Additionally, we understand that circumstances may arise throughout the year that may hinder a student's attendance, so we ask that you please notify the front office as soon as possible. In a collaborative effort, we will work to find a solution when necessary and do all that we can to support your students daily attendance.
