Classwork and Homework Request
As we approach the holiday and flu season, the best way to keep students engaged in learning and their grades soaring when they miss school is to request missed classwork and homework. It’s simple, just follow these easy steps:
- Communicate with teachers; email is always the best option.
- Classwork and homework can also be requested through the main office by calling 586- 574-3175. Please allow the teachers and staff at least 24 hours to prepare your request.
- Pick up the work request from the main office (after 24 hours).
- Return all completed work to the classroom teachers.
For shorter absences, such as missing just one day, it is always best to communicate with teachers directly.
District-Mandated Background Check
Any parent/guardian that volunteers to participate in school-related
functions such as: field trip chaperone, coaching, dance supervision,
assistants, etc. must complete and return the WCS background check form.
Once the background check form has been approved by Human Resources, it
is sufficient for all activities during the school year.
BACKGROUND CHECKS MUST BE DONE EVERY SCHOOL YEAR
Here is a list of things that you would need a background check for:
- Booster Parents
- Volunteering
- Field Trips
- Washington DC Trip
Background checks take two weeks to process; therefore, we cannot accept a background check the day/week before an event.
What you will need to hand into Beer MS for your background check:
- Copy of your license front and back
- Background check authorization form filled out and signed
- Copy of your Certificate of Completion of the bloodborned Pathogens and Concussions
