Attendance
We wanted to discuss attendance with our populace as every year when we see the weather get nicer we seem to see a drop off in attendance, we want to make parents and guardians aware of the importance of attendance. Here is our attendance protocol in Wolf Creek Public Schools:
Attendance Protocol:
The Alberta School Act requires that all children attend school regularly until the age of sixteen. It is imperative that your child attend school unless he/she is ill or must miss time because of other circumstances. It is important that students arrive at school on time each day. After 8:30 a child is officially tardy.
Please contact the school by 8:30 am if you know your child will be absent or late. The school phone number is 403-747-2778, then dial 8 to report your child's absence. Or you can email the school at alix@wolfcreek.ab.ca. Our automated attendance call will contact parents/guardians of students with an unexcused absence to ensure they are aware of the absence. Please call the attendance line to clear up any unexcused absences.
If students need to leave for an appointment in the afternoon, students need to sign out at the office and a parent must contact the office confirming their child will be leaving the school.
Every School day counts!
Upcoming Events
We wanted to let our populace know that we will be having our open house on May 14 from 5-7:30 which will consist of Grade 6-7 transition night and Grade 9-10 transition night, Kindergarten orientation, school tours, and an option showcase. We look forward to seeing as many people out as we can to showcase the great things we are doing in the school.
Lastly, it is field trip season at Alix MAC so please ensure you are filling out your child's field trip form and paying the applicable fees, these will be posted in your rycor account.
As always If you have any questions or concerns please contact adrian.paolinelli@wolfcreek.ab.ca or kendall.johnson@wolfcreek.ab.ca.
Sincerely,
Alix MAC Admin Team
