What’s Happening at Williams week of January 13th, 2025

  • If your child is enrolled as a school of choice student, please remember that if your resident district delays or cancels school, Jonesville Schools Transportation will not be able to pick up your child.  Have a plan! 

  • Students will be taking the Winter NWEA test this week. It will be helpful if you make sure they get a good night’s rest and their device is fully charged each night before testing. Also, if they have headphones, please make sure that they are at school so they can be used for testing. We look forward to seeing how much they have learned so far this year!

  • Our Williams Elementary PTA will be hosting a purse bingo night fundraiser at our High School this February 1st.  Doors open at 4:00pm and Bingo starts at 6:00pm.  Dinner is included!  Our front office is selling tickets for $45 a piece or you can buy a table for 8 people for $350.  Please spread the word!

  • Mark your calendar for Monday, January 20th. There is no school for students on this day. Teacher’s will be participating in professional development. 

  • We have had some inquiries about unexcused absences lately so we’d like to remind everyone of our attendance policy.  

  • Parents/guardians must let the school know of any excusable absence in writing, by email or by a phone call to the main office within 24 hours of an absence to have it excused.

  • Parents/guardians may excuse up to five absences for any reason.  After five absences, students will be required to bring an acceptable form to excuse their absence (doctor’s slip/court document/etc.)

  • Attendance letters are sent home when a student has reached five or more unexcused absences and again if the student has seven or more unexcused absences.  If a student reaches ten or more unexcused absences, a third letter will be sent home.  At this point, an attendance report will be submitted to Hillsdale County Juvenile Court’s truancy officer for further proceedings.
