Attendance

ATTENDANCE

If a student is in Plan A and does not physically attend, the student will be marked absent per WCPSS Board Policy 4400. If a student is not physically attending for reasons that would not be considered excused under section C of Policy 4400, then the student should be marked absent as unexcused.

If a student in Plan A requires quarantining due to a positive diagnosis for COVID-19 or exposure, the student should be marked absent-excused, similar to a student who is absent for any of the reasons in section C of Policy 4400. Any students who are absent for excused reasons per Policy 4400 should be provided remote learning access that is available at the school.

There is an expectation for all teachers to continue providing updates and assignments in the teacher’s Learning Management System.

ABSENCES

We will be operating under a new Bell Schedule beginning Thursday, April 8th.

We will be providing both In-Person instruction and Remote instruction to students.

Please understand that we are obligated to provide live instruction to students in our Virtual Academy.

A student who is assigned to attend school for In-Person learning, but participates remotely, will be marked “absent” per WCPSS Board Policy 4400. All attendance notes should be sent to athenshs-attendance@wcpss.net.

On Tuesday we will operate our Drive Time schedule. Students will be required to attend their Drive Time class each Tuesday.

On Remote Learning Days, we will operate on our Remote Learning Day Bell Schedule. Teachers will not be providing live instruction, but they will be available during Student Hours each Period to support student learning.

Please review the quarantine information on the Health and Safety page for additional details in the case of COVID-19 exposure.
