Attendance
If a student does NOT attend PBE they do NOT come to WRMS on those days and are marked absent. All absences will be reported to wrms attendance.
Unfortunately, we do not have enough staff on campus to monitor any students while were on this expedition.
Can I attend only ONE day of PBE?
We really want all students to attend both days but we also understand circumstances arise. Thus, if your student can only make one day that is perfectly fine. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each day and reported to WRMS attendance.

Students Do NOT return to WRMS!
A few facts:
All students ride buses to Pace Bend State Park.

All WRMS students will be dropped off and picked up at the WHS Stadium for BOTH days.
Over 26 WRMS staff/teachers will be off campus with our WRMS students.
