  30. Attendance Matters Woodrow Wilson High School

  31. Attendance Matters One recent study showed that students who attend school 93 percent of the time or better scored 85-100 on their exams. Students with a 91 percent attendance rate scored 65-84 on their exams, and students with attendance of 85 percent or less scored 0-54.

  32. Two Types of Absences • Excused • Unexcused

  33. Excused absences are when school‐aged scholars are absent from school with a valid excuse and parental approval.

  34. Excused Absences • Scholar illness (a doctor’s note is required if a scholar is absent for more than five days); • College visits (12th graders only) • Death in the scholar’s immediate family; • Necessity for a scholar to attend a judicial proceeding as a plaintiff, defendant, witness or juror; • Observance of a religious holiday; • Temporary school closings due to weather, unsafe conditions or other emergencies; • Medical reasons such as a doctor’s appointment (a doctor’s note is required); • Failure of DC to provide transportation where legally responsible; and • Emergency circumstances approved by DCPS.

  35. Unexcused absences are when school‐aged scholars are absent from school without a valid excuse, with or without parental approval.

  36. Unexcused Absences • Baby Sitting • Shopping • Doing Errands • Oversleeping • Cutting Class • Job Hunting • Vacations

  37. If a scholar misses 26% to 59% of the school day the scholar will receive a half‐day absence. If he/she cuts 60% of the day, the scholar will receive an unexcused absence for the full day.

  40. Attendance Card

  41. Keys to School/Class Attendance • First period begins at 8:45 am. The building is open to students beginning at 8:00 am. • To avoid the crowd, arrive to school between 8:00 – 8:25 am. • Plan your day. Students are allowed to go to their lockers prior to first period, during lunch, and after school. Remember 7-period day on Mondays. • There is a six minute transition time between each period.

  42. Every Minute Counts Tardy Plan 8:40 Scholars are expected to be swiped in by 8:40. If you are not 5 minutes early then you are late. 8:40- 8:45 Scholars will be given a CCASS pass and must present the pass to their first period teacher. If a scholar makes it to their first period class before 8:45, there will be no consequence applied by the teacher BECAUSE THEY ARRIVED ON TIME FOR CLASS. If a scholar arrives to first period after the 8:45 bell rings, the teacher will apply the same consequences as outlined. 8:45 Scholars cannot go to their locker after 8:45 and must report directly to first period. Any scholar who is at a locker after 8:45 will have their locker privileges revoked.

  43. Tardy Plan 8:45-8:55 Scholars will be given an “unexcused” pass and must present the pass to their first period teacher. Teachers will apply the same consequences as outlined. 8:55-9:15 Scholars will be processed by the administrative team. Scholars will be assigned a consequence as outlined. The Scholar will be escorted by a member of the morning team to their first period class. 9:15-9:30 Scholars will not be permitted to enter the building without a written excuse note from a parent.

  44. Consequences for being Tardy to Class: Tardy 1Warning by the teacher and documented in STARS. Tardy 2Warning by the teacher, contact parent, and documented in STARS.
