- Homeroom begins at 7:35am
- Homeroom Teachers take attendance at 7:40am and report absences to the school office.
- Students not present in homeroom are marked absent.
- Late arrivals must check-in at the school office to be marked "present".
It's important to be on time to school every day. If you drop your child off late to school (without enough time to attend homeroom), please help us by reminding your child to check-in at the office.
ABSENCES & LATE ARRIVALS
If your child will be absent or late, please notify us by 7:30am (or as soon as possible). We have two notification methods to choose from:
1. Send an email to ms_attendance@wayland.k12.ma.us
OR
2. Call the school at 508-655-6670, Press 2
Be sure to indicate your child's first and last name, grade, and the date(s) your child will be absent or tardy. We do call home to confirm any unreported absences ~ we appreciate your cooperation with this policy.
HOMEWORK POLICY for ABSENCES
If a student is absent for one day, he/she should check with friends to find out homework assignments.
You may call the office on the second consecutive day of absence before 9:00 a.m. to request homework that can be picked up in the office after 3:30 p.m. If a call is received after 9:00 a.m., the homework may not be available until the following day. Homework requests will be given to your child's primary subject teachers.
EARLY DISMISSAL
If you need to have your child dismissed from school early, please send a note to the school office with your child that day (have your child bring the note to the office when he/she arrives at school). Your child will be given a dismissal pass. Your child will give the dismissal pass to his/her teacher and come to the office to check out. You do not need to come into the office. Your child can meet you in the front lobby. If you are unable to send a note, you need to come into the school office to sign-out your child.
