Tardies

A great start to the day makes a great day in Kindergarten!
Beginning on Monday, August 22, your child needs to be at school in class by 8:00.
The first bell rings at 7:50, and the students are allowed to come to the room from the library or cafeteria. We begin working at 7:50 so getting here promptly helps your child make a smooth transition from home to school.
At 8:00, the tardy bell rings. If your child arrives after that time, please take them to the office for a tardy sticker. Tardy stickers are kept and reviewed by the principal at certain increments. (3,6,9, etc). After 6 tardies, they are automatically assigned to lunch detention for every tardy.
Why are tardies a big deal? We LOVE to have your child in the classroom. They have a chance to greet everyone, unpack backpacks, get out notes, put up their folder. Every class has work that is reviewed first thing every day, and your child needs to be here to get a good start to instruction. Also, the older grades have RTI tutorial at 8:00 so if their big brothers and sisters need to be here, so do they! It is very hard on your child if they have to walk in and the class is already started. They feel left out.

Please help your child by getting them to school at 7:50!
We appreciate your help.
