WEST WING SCHOOL NEWS!!
TAX CREDIT INFORMATION:
Dear WW Parents and Guardians,
This short message is inform you of an easy way for you to help West Wing School today! I am writing you this very important message about the importance of sending your Tax Credit donation to West Wing School. This generous tax credit donation can be made to West Wing from anyone of your relatives, grandparents, aunts, uncles or anyone whom you want to be part of your child’s educational success! This gift from your family contributes invaluable benefits to the West Wing students. Tax credit dollars go directly to extra-curricular student programs such as tutoring, special band and music programs that we would not be able to provide otherwise, and many more invaluable opportunities for your child.
If you donate your tax dollars to West Wing, it is at no cost to you. Your tax donation is a dollar for dollar benefit and it is a win-win situation for you and for West Wing School. Please take a moment to decide to donate your tax dollars to West Wing this tax year.
* The full amount of the tax credit can be used to reduce an individual’s tax liability
($200.00 for a single tax payer or $400 per household).
* You can fill out the tax credit information online and use your credit card at
https://dvusd.mytechsupport.com/eca/
* Tax credit donations directly support any extra-curricular activity, including our character education
program, West Wing’s choir, band or our sports programs.
Warmest Regards,
Dr. Price-Barry

West Wing Tardy Policy
The West Wing Tardy Policy has been developed to emphasize the importance of each student being in the classroom for the entire period, as well as arriving on time to school every day. Learning the responsibility of getting to class on time is an integral part of West Wing’s standard of excellence, which prepares students for success.
In our school, instructional time is viewed as a precious resource. Consequently we view chronic tardiness as a serious problem, and we will impose progressive consequences in an effort to alleviate the problem.
Problems with tardiness to school may require adjustments in the family's morning schedule.
The consequences for repeated tardiness to school are as follows:
|
Tardy |
Consequences |
|
3rd tardy |
1 day lunch detention. Record in Power School file. |
|
5th tardy |
CUTS letter sent to parent. 1 week of lunch detention. Record in Power School file. |
|
10th tardy |
CUTS letter sent to parent. 1 day of In School Suspension. Record in Power School file. |
|
15th tardy |
CUTS letter sent to parent. 1 day Out of School Suspension. Record in Power School file. |
PLEASE NOTE: Medical and dental appointments are considered “excused” tardies only when a note is provided. Please remember to request notes from the offices of dentists, doctors and others where possible if children are tardy due to appointments. With few exceptions, most tardies are considered unexcused.
*Administration has the right to substitute an alternative disciplinary intervention for repeated offenders.
