It is an absolute necessity that students attend school on a regular basis. Studies originating from a variety of sources indicate that there is a direct correlation between education and income. If your child's success in life is important to you, it is critical that he or she gets a good basic education. This can only occur if regular school attendance is maintained from Kindergarten through 12th grade (thirteen years of schooling). The following chart is an example of possible education days versus actual education days for students who are frequently absent, based on thirteen years of education with 180 days of instruction per year.

Students who miss 10% or more actually lose more than time. They lose out on skill development, practice, and standards mastery, which can impede their ability to pass the California High School Exit Exam. Students who regularly miss school, miss out on what other students in their classes are getting. They begin to feel that they will never catch up, so why should they try?

Regular attendance does not guarantee success, perfect scores, high grades, or a high school diploma, but it does give students the best possible chance. In this life, basic skills are offered "free" only once. The failure to take advantage of a free public education when it is available is very costly. Don't cheat you children or yourself. See to it that you get your money's worth the first time around. Promote education in your home and see to it that the leaders of tomorrow - your children - are the best this world has to offer. You are the first and most important teacher in your children's lives. Please teach them the value of learning.


PERFECT ATTENDANCE AWARDS

Wildwood recognizes the challenge and hard work needed to achieve perfect attendance.  There are many things that can cause a student to miss a day of school or to be late.  We recognize students for perfect attendance in two ways.  First, there are Perfect Attendance Awards earned by students who do not miss a day of school.   Next, there are Extreme Perfect Attendance Awards earned by students who do not miss an instructional minute of school at any time.  This means that a student is never late, never misses a day, and never leaves early.  Both of these awards are significant achievements.  Students are honored with Perfect Attendance Awards at our three trimester award ceremonies throughout the year and with Extreme Perfect Attendance at the end of the year.  Thank you, parents and guardians (and students) for everything you do to promote perfect attendance.

 

WES PTA is on Facebook!

Request to join our Facebook group: "WES PTA"

This page is for PTA-related info and questions ONLY! If you have non-PTA questions about school, please call the office.

Classroom Visitors, Volunteers & Field Trips

All Classroom Visitors, Volunteers, and Field Trip Chaperones must adhere to the new safety measures put into place this school year as a part of the "Say Good-bye at the Gate" campaign. The office will need to clear all volunteers through our new Visitor Management System.

If you need to drive your child to or from a field trip for any reason, you must complete the Alternative Transportation form, available in the office or from your child's teacher. This form must be completed and filed with the office at least 24 hours before the day of the field trip.

On August 11th, 2021, the State Public Health Officer issued an order requiring schools to verify the COVID-19 vaccination status of all workers.  The order defines workers as paid and unpaid adults serving in school settings, which includes staff and volunteers who are on-site supporting school functions.  Schools must be in full compliance by October 15th, 2021, and do not have an option to decline implementation.  This order does not apply to visitors.

If you plan on volunteering at a school function, please be prepared to perform the following:

  • Provide proof of vaccination to front office staff prior to the function through either of the following methods;
    • Present a COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card,
    • A photo of a Vaccination Record Card in a separate document,
    • A photo of a Vaccination Record Card on a phone or electronic device,
    • Documentation of COVID-19 vaccination from a healthcare provider,
    • A digital record that includes a QR code fromhttps://myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov.
  • Provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test result dated within seven calendar days of the function.  The test must fulfill the following requirements;
    • Be an antigen or PCR(molecular) test administered at a COVID-19 testing facility listed on sbcovid19.com,
    • It cannot be an at-home test.

YCJUSD will not be storing your vaccination records.  School and district staff will only need to visually verify your COVID-19 vaccination status once and will make note of your status in our volunteer management system.  Your status will be maintained in a manner that ensures your privacy and confidentiality.  Test results will not be stored and if your vaccination status has not been verified, you will be considered unvaccinated.

Please be prepared to present your most recent test results at each function if you have not been vaccinated as these records will not be stored or maintained by the District.

Fully Vaccinated

Fully vaccinated means individuals who are considered fully vaccinated for COVID-19: two weeks or more after they have received the second dose in a two-dose series (Pfizer or Moderna), or two weeks or more after they have received a single-dose vaccine (Johnson and Johnson).  Individuals are considered unvaccinated until either of these scenarios are completed.

Testing

A variety of free testing locations are available to you through sbcovid19.org.  At-home tests cannot be accepted.

We appreciate your support and ask that you work with our staff who will be inquiring about your status for upcoming school functions.  This is an order from the State of California and can be accessed by clicking the link below.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the changes mentioned above, please contact your site administrator or Lancey_Bradley@ycjusd.us.
