STEPS TO FOLLOW WHEN YOUR CHILD IS ABSENT FROM SCHOOL


  • Children cannot be dropped off at school before the "official" district drop-off time of 8:30 am.


    WCASD ATTENDANCE POLICY: PLEASE REFER TO WCASD WEBSITE FOR THE COMPLETE POLICY.

    1. Call the Safe Arrival Line 484-266-1310 by 9:00 a.m. on the days your child is absent from school. This number is dedicated for the Safe Arrival Line and voice mail is available before and after school hours. Please note: The phone call is not in place of sending a note.


    2. Please send a signed WCASD EXCUSE FORM (required by state law) when your child returns to school after an absence. If this note is not returned within 3 school days, the absence will be considered unexcused at the kindergarten level and illegal for grades one through five. (For filing purposes, please use the WCASD Excuse Form, which can be obtained from the school office or online at the MCH website and not notepaper or personal stationery).
