Attendance matters, and we want to make sure families know the difference between excused and unexcused absences. ✔️
✅ Excused absences (with proper documentation) will not count against the 90% attendance requirement. These include things like a doctor’s note, court or counseling verified by a note, funerals, school activities, and in-school suspension.
❌ Unexcused absences, such as illness without a doctor’s note, vacations, or out-of-school suspension, do count toward the attendance requirement.
Please remember to send a doctor’s or counselor’s note within 5 days so absences can be properly excused. Thank you for helping us make every day count for our Warriors! 💙💛

🎈💛 Today we had the best time surprising Mrs. Ashcraft, our amazing Community School Coordinator, with balloons all throughout the day! She puts so much fun and love into West Minico, and we wanted to do the same for her. Thank you, Mrs. Ashcraft, for everything you do to make our school a brighter, kinder place.

Did you know that missing just 2 days of school each month adds up to nearly 18 days a year? That’s almost a full month of learning lost. 📉 At West Minico, our goal is for students to maintain at least 90% attendance each semester—no more than 7 absences per semester or 4 per quarter. When students are here every day, they stay on track with their learning, build stronger connections with teachers and peers, and set themselves up for success. Thank you for helping us make sure every Warrior is in class—because every day counts! 💙💛
