Wicomico Middle

Did you know students who have 5 or more unexcused absences in a term will fail all of their classes for that term? Attendance is very important to student success in school. If your child has a medical appointment, please request a note excusing it. Parents can send notes excusing up to 5 days per school year. Students with five or more unexcused absences will be placed on an Attendance Intervention Plan to recover days. Remember, we LOVE it when our students arrive to thrive!

Ms. Jackson & Ms. Gravenor have done a fantastic job with our awesome students presenting our morning announcements. What an amazing set of students and staff. We are Warrior Strong 💪🏾 🖤💛

Wicomico Middle's Quarterly Attendance Incentives for the 24/25 school year! Wicomico Middle School made so much progress last school year with reducing chronic absenteeism (students missing 18 days or more days of school). The Maryland State Standard is for students to maintain an Average Daily Attendance of 94% and that standard will be the foundation for all of our attendance incentives. Our focus is decreasing our percentage of students who are chronically absent, so it does not matter if the absences are excused or unexcused. We understand that life happens, students end up sick, there are emergencies and other things, but in order to qualify for incentives, they need to be PRESENT 94% of the time. There will be other short-term attendance incentives as well, so be on the look out.

𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 🌟 Every school day is a step toward a brighter future! Regular attendance helps students develop important skills and habits that last a lifetime.
