  2. Attendance • Winston Park K-8 believes that school is the child’s place of work. Each student must assume the responsibility of being present and on time every day. • MDCPS’ policy is that all absences are UNEXCUSED initially. If a student is absent, they must bring a note from a parent/guardian or a physician within two days of the absence, and submit the note to their homeroom teacher TO RECEIVE AN ADMIT. • If a student’s absence is excused, make-up work will be provided. • If a student’s absence is unexcused, make-up work will not be provided.

  3. Attendance • If a student is absent for more than two consecutive days, parents need to contact the school. • If a parent has prior knowledge that a student will be absent from school for an extended period, the administrative office must be informed as soon as possible, and the parent needs to complete the “pre-arranged” absence form. • Not informing the school of an upcoming extended absence will render those absences unexcused.

  4. Block Schedule Absences • On most days, when a student misses a class period, it counts as two absences. Therefore, if a student is absent from a class period 2 times, the student will be counted absent 4 times. This will be reflected on their report card.

  5. Tardy Policy • Being on time, alert and ready to learn are all important factors for success in school. • Being on time is defined as being in their seat by 8:35 a.m. • 1-2 Tardies – Verbal Warning • 3 Tardies - Office will make contact • 4+ - Meeting with Administration Visit from Social Worker

  8. Home Learning Policy • If a student has an excused absence, make-up work will be provided but it is the student’s responsibility to request it. • Students are required to write their Home learning assignments in their agendas on a daily basis. • Please make sure that you check the agenda every day. • The Agenda can serve as a great form of communication between parents and teachers.
