Attendance
ATTENDANCE
For the safety of your student and our staff, ALL visitors to WCHS must show their picture ID at the door before they enter the building.
Please add anyone who may possibly pick up your student to their pickup list and advise them that a picture ID is required. If someone arrives to pick up a student and they are not on the student’s list, they will not be able to pick up the student.
General Attendance Guidelines
A student is allowed (6) Parent notes per school year. Once that limit has been met, a doctor’s note is required, or the absence will be Unexcused. Doctors’ offices can fax notes to 859-336-5983.
An absence cannot be excused unless either a parent or doctor note is received for the date/dates of the absence. A phone call from a parent/guardian does not excuse an absence.
Parents can email me directly at jennifer.calhoun@washington.kyschools.us
