Attendance

Reporting an Absence

When reporting a student absence, please call before 8 a.m. so that teachers and staff will be aware of the student's absence. Absences can be reported by calling 262-335-5500 or emailing aterlinden@wbsd-schools.org. If a student is marked absent and we have not heard from any family members, the absence is marked as U-UN which means unexcused-unknown. This code will then trigger an auto call that goes out at 10:30 a.m. as well as further communication via email and phone call from our attendance secretary.

If an absence is related to a medical appointment, you are encouraged to obtain a doctor's note/excuse. By obtaining a note, that particular absence will be exempt. The absence is marked as X-ME which means exempt-medical excuse. An excuse can be submitted to the attendance secretary by having it faxed over by the medical provider's office to 262-335-5610, sending it via email to aterlinden@wbsd-schools.org, or handing it in directly to the main office.

In case of an extended absence such as a vacation, please complete a student pre-plan form. The completed form should be returned to the main office prior to the absence.

Thank you!
