What should I do if my student is going to be absent?
Parents/Guardians are asked to call the school at 262-268-6105 prior to 9:00am to report an absence. You may also email caitlin.joseph@pwssd.k12.wi.us. If TJMS does not receive a call or email and the student is marked unverified, the school messenger system will send an automated call and email out to the parent/guardian at 10:25am. There will also be another call and email at 6:10pm if your student was unverified during the afteroon.
What should I do if I am planning a school absence ahead of time?
If you are planning an absence ahead of time, you will need to complete the electronic Pre-Excused Absence form found here. You and/or your student will be responsible for contacting teachers for any assignments.
What should I do if my student is going to be late to school?
Parents/Guardians are asked to call the school attendance line at 262-268-6105 or email caitlin.joseph@pwssd.k12.wi.us to report a tardy. The student will be marked absent until they arrive at school and then it will be changed to a tardy. Parents/Guardians DO NOT need to come into the school with their child. The child should report to the main office to receive a late pass.
What should I do if my student needs to leave during the school day?
Contact the TJMS office at 262-268-6100 to let an administrative assistant know what time you will be picking up your student. The student will sign out in the school office and will wait in the vestibule until the parent/guardian arrives. Parents/Guardians should not come in to the office unless the school is unaware that your student is leaving early. If your student attended a medical/dental appointment, please ask them for an excuse and have your student give it to the office staff.
