On Time=Responsibility

There will be a new tardy policy being put into effect next Monday. To ensure each child takes part in their morning jobs and participates in a full morning meeting, we'd like to see children here at school on time each morning.  The first 20 minutes of our school day are the MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE DAY. Through greeting, shares, and a whole group activity, children develop social behaviors and learn to be a part of a community.  It is during this time that each child is honored and celebrated.  Please read the letter from our administration that outlines the new tardy policy (sent home today).  Your child needs to arrive at school and be on their way to the classroom at 8:20.  After 8:20, children will need to stop by the office to receive a tardy slip.  Students are welcome to come to school beginning at 8:00. Remember, students are not to wait in the hallway due to the lack of supervision and classroom teachers meetings. Students have the options of going to the playground or going to the library. If your child eats breakfast at school, they are to report directly to the cafeteria. If you have any questions, let me know.  Thanks for working hard to ensure that all our children make it to school on TIME!
