ATTENDANCE: When your child is absent from school, please call our 24-hour attendance line at 260-244-5148, to report the absence. Upon your child’s return, a note is required that states your child’s first and last name, date of absence and reason for absence. If the school does not receive a note, the absence will be marked as NOT EXCUSED. If absences are reported using Skyward, no written note is required. For homework requests, please check Google Classroom or contact your grade-level office.

YEARBOOK: Download an order form for the 2019-20 school yearbook.  The cost is $30 and all orders are due by March 31.

During this time, you are advised not to add funds to eFunds for Schools, either. eFunds for Schools will be unable to update your Skyward account information during this window.

Device Protection Plan

Students will have the option to enroll in a Device Protection Plan for the 2019-2020 school year.  The optional Device Protection Plan costs $20.  Participation in the plan protects school-issued student Chromebooks against ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE, FIRE, FLOOD, NATURAL DISASTERS, POWER SURGE, VANDALISM, MECHANICAL FAILURE and MANUFACTURER DEFECTS. This plan will provide full replacement cost coverage (does not include chargers or cases) and will protect devices on and off school grounds.  The plan is limited to three claims.  Parents will be responsible for all costs related to incidents beyond the third claim.  The plan is also transferable to a replacement unit. All repairs regardless of participation in the Device Protection Plan must be handled by the WCCS Technology Department.
