  12. Attendance, Tardies, Early Dismissal • We encourage all students to attend school on-time every day. Being here consistently helps students develop routines and participate in their learning community. • PWCS Policy: Student who misses 10 or more days without making up school work may be considered for retention.

  13. Attendance and Excuses • Parents must notify school by 9:00 a.m. on day of your child’s absence. Please call the absentee line and leave a message (703) 590 - 5655. • In addition, a written note is required when the child returns to school, providing the reason for the absence. • In order for any prearranged absences to be classified as excused, a letter must be sent to Ms. Marsilio one week prior to the expected absence. Parents are encouraged to schedule family trips during school holidays.

  14. The first day of school, all students will hear the following message: • Our class is a safe place: • we will take care of each other, • learn together, and • build a learning community together. • I will help you become the best student you can be.

  15. First Day of School • Students should come to school the first day the same way they will the rest of the year, e.g. bus. • Students are lined up by grade level outside the front door. • Parents will not be allowed to walk their children to their class.

  16. School Visitors • All visitors must report to the office and present a photo ID before going to any part of the school - even in the hallways. • We adhere to 100% ID check.

  18. Kiss and Ride • If your child is a car rider, the drop off and pick up point is our parking lot, not the bus loop. • In the morning and afternoon, several teachers will be on duty at “Kiss and Ride”. • Will receive a form to complete on the first day of school. Will be assigned a number to be placed on your windshield and child’s backpack.
