A Late Arrival & Early Dismissal If your child arrives at school after 8:45 AM, they must be signed in at the front office by a parent/guardian. The student will be given a tardy slip before he or she goes to the classroom. A doctor's note will need to be provided to excuse the tardy. Students who must leave school during the school day should bring a note to their teacher that morning. Parents should come to the office to get their child, not to your child's classroom. Teachers have been informed that children are to be released to adults from the office. Please do not ask the teacher to change this procedure. This protects your child from being taken by unauthorized persons. 5 Things to Know about Wicomico’s Attendance Rules •Students should strive to be in school all day, every day.
