Attendance
Wellesley Middle School Procedures (from the WMS Office):
If Your Child Will Be Absent
If your child is going to be absent a parent/guardian must call the school’s absence line no later than 8:00 am at (781) 446-6250 and press #2 to report a student’s absence. Please give the name of the student, the homeroom number, and the date the student will be absent. If we do not receive a phone call, the absence will be reported as unexcused for that day.
If Your Child Will Be Late
If your child is going to arrive at school after the school day begins, at 7:50am, a parent/guardian must call the office by 8:00am at (781) 446-6235 to inform the school of the tardiness. If we do not receive a phone call, the tardiness will be unexcused for that day.
If Your Child Will Be Leaving School Early
If your child needs to be dismissed from school before the end of the school day, please have them bring a note to the main office before the school day begins. The note should include the time they need to be dismissed and the reason for leaving early. If your child does not come with a note, please call the office by 11:00am at (781) 446-6235 to inform the school of the dismissal. Without a note, you will have to come into the main office to pick-up your child (even if you've called).
If You Need To Leave a Note Or Drop Off Something For Your Child
If you need to get a message to your child or drop off a forgotten item, please call/visit the main office by 11:00am to ensure that your child receives the message/item at lunchtime or by day's end. Please understand that we cannot disrupt class time for non-emergency situations.
