Let's make our YES Prep family even more extraordinary together!

Wizards Families,

 

As we wrap up National School Counseling Week, I wanted to take one more opportunity to highlight the work of our incredible team in:

 

Ms. Guidry, College Counselor

Ms. Palmarini, College Counselor

Ms. Mendez, College Counselor

Ms. Fernandez, Student Support Counselor

Ms. Daniel, Student Support Counselor

 

We know that SO many of you have experienced the power of their investment and support of our Wizards, as they prepare them to be leaders at school and in life!

 

Intentional and consistent fostering of personal development is a huge component of their tireless efforts, and the impact of their influence is far beyond a student's graduate date from YES Prep. Students experience a sense of deep connection, empathy, and accountability from our counselors. The actions our counselors take day in and day out are a testament to their deeply held belief that all students are capable.

 

Families, please join me in thanking Ms. Guidry, Ms. Palmarini, Ms. Mendez, Ms. Fernandez, and Ms. Daniel!

 

 

Happy Counselors Week!

 

Ms. Ryans

Attendance Update

 

  

As we complete the second week of 2nd semester, it is imperative that students attend all school days. Each student's presence matters, not only for their academic progress but also for building connections and providing necessary support.

 

Students are marked absent for the day if they arrive at school after 10:00 AM. Daily student attendance is taken in all class periods.

 

Remember that students can enter the building as early as 8:00 AM and are considered tardy after 8:30 AM.

When your child is absent from school, your school’s front office will call home to find out why they missed school. When the student returns to school, they should turn in their excused note within 48 hours. The guardian can also complete an excuse note digitally in Skyward. The excuse note will then be added to the student’s file and your child must make up all missed assignments. Please note that if an excused absence is NOT turned in within 48 hours of the absence, the absence will remain unexcused. 

 

What is an excused absence? An excused absence is when a student provides physical or electronic documentation (a note from parent/legal guardian) within 48 hours of the absence. The following are possible reasons a student may receive an excused absence: Illness, bereavement / funeral (immediate family), school-sanctioned activities, family emergency, medical related, religious observances (not church camp), short-term suspension or other disciplinary actions, protected under state or federal law. 

 

What is an unexcused absence? Unexcused absences are when a child is absent without documentation signed by a guardian or doctor that meets the criteria for an excused absence.

Please help our students get to school every day, on-time, so that we can do our part to prepare them for success!
