Attendance, Absences & Tardies

Attendance

Maria Schuster mschuster@wusd.org (707) 837-7737 ext. 40003

Regular attendance is important to your students' success at Windsor Middle School.. Parents/guardians are required to verify their student’s absence from school in writing, by telephone, or by personal visit to the attendance office within 48 hours. Absences not verified within 48 hours will become unexcused absences.  All messages or notes should contain the following information: 

  • Student’s full name 
  • Grade 
  • Date or Dates of Absence 
  • Reason for the Absence 

Students arriving after 8:30 a.m. must get a late pass from the front office.  Students not in class when the tardy bell rings will be marked tardy.  Parents must notify the office either by phone or in writing if there will be an early release before 8:30 a.m.

Absence/Short-Term Independant Study 

Lorena Nuno lnuno@wusd.org  (707) 837-7737 ext. 40007

When students will be away from school for between five and fifteen consecutive school days, the parent/guardian can request a Short-Term Independent Study Program.  Parents must inform the school secretary, Lorena Nuno, at least two weeks in advance to have their student participate in this program.  If the work is completed during the allotted time frame and the Independent Study Contract is fulfilled, the student will receive credit for being in school.  The Independent Study Contract must be completed and work returned to the ATTENDANCE OFFICE on the day of the student’s scheduled return in order to receive full credit for missed assignments and have the attendance codes entered as verified.

WMS Tardy Policy

Being on time to class is an essential part of ensuring a productive learning environment for all students at Windsor Middle School. Timeliness is crucial as it sets the tone for the day and allows students to benefit fully from their education. Being punctual demonstrates respect for the learning process, teachers, and classmates. Students who arrive late disrupt the flow of the class, miss out on important instructions, and create unnecessary distractions for everyone. Tardiness has a direct correlation to student performance and is detrimental to the total learning environment Therefore, we have implemented the following Tardy Attendance Policy:

1. **1st- 4th Tardy:** When a student is tardy for the first to fourth time, a warning will be issued, and the student will be reminded of the importance of punctuality.

2. **5th Tardy:** Upon the fifth tardy, the student will be assigned an after school detention. This serves as a more formal warning and an opportunity for the student to reflect on the impact of their tardiness on themselves and others. After school detention is on Tuesday & Thursday from 2:453:25pm.

3. **6th Tardy:** Following the sixth tardy, the student will be required to attend a Saturday School session.

4. **Tardy consequences reset after the 6th tardy as well as at the start of each grading quarter.

It is important to emphasize that being tardy not only affects the individual student but also has a ripple effect on the entire class. Consistent tardiness can lead to missed assignments, incomplete understanding of the material, and a lack of engagement in the learning process. By arriving on time, students show responsibility, readiness to learn, and respect for their own education and that of others. Weencourage all students to prioritize punctuality and adhere to this Tardy Attendance Policy to create a positive and conducive learning environment for everyone in our middle school community.

Definition of tardy: Students are tardy if they are not in their seat or classroom space when the tardy bell rings.

Contact A Staff Member

There are two ways to contact a staff member, though we recommend doing so via ParentSquare:

Via ParentSquare

ParentSquare allows parents to send a message to a teacher or school staff member. You will receive a notification from your child's school when a message is sent to you. You can choose how you want to receive notifications: by text, email and/or app notification. You do not have to be logged in or have a registered account to receive notifications. However, when you are logged in to ParentSquare, you can view messages for each of your children's schools within one account.
