Absent/Planning To Move

Tue, 10/04/2022 - 10:03am

Late Arrivals

If you arrive at 8:40 AM or after, you MUST park your car in the big parking lot, and walk your child to the building to sign in with a staff member. This is for the safety of your child.

Tardies are tracked on your student(s) report card.

School opens at 8:30 am. If your student isn't in their classroom by the late bell (8:40 am), he/she is considered late. You must accompany your child to and from the building each time your child has a late arrival.

Early Dismissals

Please bring your drivers license. If your student has an early dismissal, please make certain he/she is picked up before 3:00 pm to make certain you are out before our buses begin to arrive. Early dismissals cannot be conducted after 3:00 pm. If you arrive after 3:00pm, you will need to wait in the car loop line until our regular dismissal begins. It is best to alert your child(s) teacher and the front office regarding early dismissals ahead of time.

We would also like for you to provide a note each day your child has an after-school activity. This helps the teacher and your child remember the activity on a weekly basis.

ABSENT NOTE

When your child is absent, please send an email on the day your student returns to the following address:

MWESabsence@hcpss.org

Please send an email to the above address with your

Child's name
Teacher
Grade
Date of absence
Reason for the absence. If a reason is not included, the absence will be considered unlawful. You may copy your child's teacher on the attendance email if you'd like.

Even if you have notified MWES of your upcoming absence, HCPSS will send out an automated e-mail message whenever a student is absent. MWES will make sure your child is marked accurately on their attendance record.

Important Note

If you know your child will be absent for more than 3 days or would like to request days, please fill out an EXTENDED ABSENCE DISCRETIONARY ABSENCE Form. Feel free to email the completed form to caroline_chisholm@hcpss.org

Planning a Move?

If you have moved or are moving soon, please notify us as soon as possible. Please do not wait for us to find out through other means. We are available to assist you with transitioning to your child's new school. Whether it be another HCPSS school, a private school, or a school out of the HCPSS district, we are here to help. Please fill out a Transfer/Withdrawal Notification Form and submit it to the front office staff as soon as possible or email the completed form to arlene_cabrera@hcpss.org. ** Please fill out one form for each student.** Once the Transfer/Withdrawal Form is submitted, a transfer packet will be emailed to you. You will also need to return the county-issued chrome book if you are moving out of county or out of state.

Transfer/Withdrawal Notification Form

If you have an address change, please fill out the attached fillable Address Change Form below and email it back to us with your new deed or lease. We also require a utility bill with your new address. This way we can electronically verify your school district and update your new address on file.

It is very important for us to have the most accurate information about your residency.

Student Reassignment is the process by which a parent/guardian can request enrollment at a school that is not located in the school attendance area for their bona fide residence.
