[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From Westfield today. We have received zero messaging about weapons detection.

Greetings.  All Westfield families are receiving this message.  Please note that students who accumulate between 5 and 10 unexcused tardies or class cuts in one week will receive lunch detention and be placed on pass restrictions (from 4 to 2 per day).  Students who accumulate 11+ unexcused tardies or class cuts in one week will receive an afterschool detention and will be pass restricted to 1/day.  When students have four weeks of 11+ unexcused tardies or class cuts (consecutively or not), they will be placed on full day escort and parents will be invited to a meeting at school. This is a change from last year.  Tardies and class cuts will be monitored on weekly basis.  Please talk with your student and remind them to arrive to class on time and to not leave class without permission.  Thank you for your support and partnership! :)

Best,
Maranda Black

Unintended consequences

If those kids get full day escorts can they skip the security lines?

I also think the metal detectors are overkill. But where is the disbelief that a high schooler needs to be walked to class like a 2nd grader? These behaviors take up way too much staff time and unfortunately it’s not a rare occurrence. Maybe mom or dad needs to come in and walk their darling to class for a few days. [/quote]
