Attention West Jessamine Middle School Families!
Starting this week, we will have a convenient cart set up at the entrance for students to drop off their absence and bus notes.
What Counts as an Excused Absences?
A parent note may be submitted to excuse six (6) full days of absences per school year
A doctor's note may be provided to excuse up to 12 full days of absences per school year. Upon the 12th doctor’s note, parents will receive a district referral to Jessamine County Schoolʼs nurse to implement board policy
A student may miss up to six (6) days without a doctor or legal note. This includes parent notes and unexcused absences. Once the six (6) day limit has been reached, all future absences without a doctor or legal note will remain unexcused.
Welcome to Mr. Ditzenburger! He is starting his first year teaching as an 8th grade ELA teacher here at WJMS!
