• Early-outs. Early-out notes should be turned in to the Attendance Office before school and during nutrition . Pick up completed Early-Out during nutrition or passing period only.
• Re-admits for any suspension (in house ACE, home, truancy center, etc.) are issued by the student’s Assistant Principal’s secretary. It is the student’s responsibility to pick up the re-admit!
Students who are absent must present an excused pink re-admit form to their teachers for their signature for the classes they missed. Teachers may not allow students to turn in missing assignment(s) unless they have signed a re-admit. Students have 5 days to clear absences.

Arriving late to school
Wilson Classical High School students are expected to be in class on time. If you are late to class, the consequences range from detention to a period of OCS (On Campus Supervision). If you miss a class because of being in OCS, you must present your OCS slip to your teacher to get make-up work.
If you are less than ten minutes late arriving to block 1 or block 2, you will receive a tardy slip excusing the tardy. Only two late notes are allowed per semester. After the second excused tardy, you will be assigned a 1 hour detention and sent to OCS. Each time you are tardy thereafter you will be sent to OCS and referred to your grade level administrator for consequences. Students are no longer required to stand in OCS. Students are expected to be quiet and get school work done.
If you arrive later than ten minutes because of a doctor/dentist/court appointment, show your note (on letterhead stationery - parent notes are not accepted) at the front door and proceed to the Attendance Office for a readmit. If you do not have a note from your doctor or dentist you must go to OCS.
Information for teachers
1. Teachers must take accurate attendance because the teacher's Attendance Scantrons are the source of information for the data that is stored on the school administration system (Genesis).
Errors on the Attendance Scantron causes Wilson to lose ADA (Average Daily Attendance) funding.
2. Teachers must sign and date their Attendance Scantrons in blue or black ink, on or after the last day of attendance, even if there is no date requirement on the Scantron.
3. Teachers must indicate on their Scantron all incoming and outgoing students, and write the dates these students entered and/exited their class.
4. Students are only allowed to be tardy twice per semester and must come to class with a tardy slip which will be issued by an administrator or campus security. On the third tardy teachers must send students to OCS (On Campus Suspension). Teachers should call parents and refer the student to the counselor/administrator if tardies continue.
5. Attendance Scantrons should be turned in daily.
