Edison Update
September 8, 2023
Have a great weekend!
We had another great week! Next week is our first full week of school!
Thank you very much for following our arrival and dismissal procedures listed below, things went well this week. Things will smooth out even more next week as we are all back in our school routine!
Please remember to report your child's absence. You can do this by calling our attendance line and leaving a message, or you can report an absence through the Parent Connection app. The district has a new attendance policy (details below). You will receive a phone call if you have not reported an absence. You may receive a call if your child is tardy to school as well, because teachers take attendance in the morning and afternoon. By arriving late, your child may have been marked absent and it may not be corrected before attendance calls go out.

WWCSD K-12 Attendance Protocol
Wayne-Westland Community Schools K-12 Attendance Protocol

- Three (3) absences or equivalent - A teacher will make a phone call to discuss the reason(s) for the absences and seek to support the family in getting the child to school.
- Six (6) absences or equivalent - An attendance letter is sent to communicate the district’s concern about attendance and highlight the steps in the attendance protocol.
- Nine (9) absences or equivalent - A meeting will be set up between the family and an administrator or support staff member to discuss attendance barriers and to highlight the urgency of regular attendance.
- Twelve (12) absences or equivalent - Student’s name and address are submitted to Concentric to conduct a home visit. The school will notify parents of the upcoming visit. The details of that home visit are shared with the school to support the student’s regular attendance in school.

The second attendance letter is also mailed home at this time.

Student Code of Conduct
https://www.wwcsd.net/resources/ww-resources/student-code-of-conduct/
Student Drop Off
Just a reminder, you can use the drop off line to drop off your student. The student should exit the car from the passenger side and the adult should stay in the car. There is no parking in the drop off line.
Another option is to park in a marked parking space. Then, you can walk your child to the door.
Please DO NOT drive through the parking lot and cut back into the drop off line.
Thank you for your help and for making sure our students arrive safely!

Student Dismissal Reminders
Students who attend Champions or Bright Futures are dismissed to those programs in the building.
All other students are picked up by a parent/guardian from the classroom. Each teacher has communicated a dismissal location.
If there is a change for your child at the end of the day, please communicate this change to the teacher via Dojo and with the office by 2:30pm. This will give us plenty of time to alert the student and teacher (or guest teacher).
We will not dismiss students after 2:30pm unless it is an emergency.

You can now add money to your child's account for an extra slice of pizza or snack from the snack cart. PaySchools is the website used by the Nutrition Department: https://payschoolscentral.com/
If a student brings a lunch from home and they would like milk, it costs $0.50. Although we provide a free breakfast and lunch to all students, the state does not reimburse schools for milk only.
