ATTENDANCE

Regular attendance and punctuality are key ingredients in being successful at school. Chronic absenteeism and tardiness will result in diminished academic achievement. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to call the school (519-938-9355 extension 242) prior to an absence. Our ‘School Messenger Communicate’ system may contact your home if a student has an unexcused absence or skip.

SIGN-OUT PRIVILEGES

Students over 18 years of age may apply for sign-out privileges by completing the form available at reception.

Check Attendance & Marks Online: 

WSS invites parents/guardians to login to their child’s student information to find out daily attendance, marks, etc.

Here’s how…

• https://connect.edsembli.com/on/ugdsb/wss/portal/viewer/login/login.aspx?logintype=P
• The Student Login is the first 3 letters of the student’s usual first, and the full last name (examples: Julie Smith would be julsmith and Katelyn Robinson would be katrobinson)
• The Password is the student’s OEN number – this can be found on the student’s report card.
• If you have security concerns and need this password changed, please contact the office.
• Click on the tabs to access information –
  • Attendance – check today’s attendance (it will appear as soon as the teachers report it – all attendance should be reported by 2:30 p.m. daily and many teachers will post attendance shortly after class has started).  Past attendance is available under History.
  • Timetable – shows your child’s timetable, with room numbers and teachers names for this year (timetables for this year are not available on-line until mid-September)
  • Achievement – shows marks (once teachers have entered them at mid-term and the end of the semester).
  • Transcript – shows courses completed, summary of credits and community service hours completed.
