Dear Sprague,

Hello.  It is quiet in terms of information sharing this week.  Quiet is great!

Happy Hanukkah and enjoy your weekend.

  • If you have questions, please contact Chris Babicz 

 

 Standards-Based Report Cards

 

Attendance

Required Attendance in the Hybrid Learning Model: 

  • In-person learning is an essential part of the WPS hybrid model. Students should be in school on their designated hybrid day unless there is a documented, approved reason for them to remain at home. Parents need to follow their school’s procedure for reporting an absence. 

  • In some instances, a student may be sick (e.g. cold, sore throat) and still healthy enough to access their learning from home. These situations must be coordinated/approved in advance and through consultation with the teacher, school nurse, assistant principal, and/or the school principal. Your school nurse is an excellent resource if you need any guidance or direction when making this decision.  

  • Students/families should not opt to be remote for reasons of convenience (e.g. vacation/travel plans, family visits, student preference). 

  • If a student/family opts to be remote on one of their designated in-person learning days without an approved reason, the student may be marked absent (unexcused absence)  — even if/when they Zoom into their class. These absences will appear on their report card and in their cumulative record. 

  • The MA Department of Elementary and Secondary Education requires all districts to track and report student attendance. They state, “being chronically absent can have a significant impact on a student’s ability to read at grade level, perform academically, and graduate on time.”
