Children should arrive no earlier than 0805. Adult supervision is not available until that time. The first bell rings at 0810 for students to proceed to their classrooms. The tardy bell rings at 0815 and students will be considered late if they arrive after it has rung. On days when we experience inclement weather, children will be brought into the school building by their teachers at 0800.
Punctuality is a lifelong habit to be fostered and encouraged.
The office will send written notice to the families of students who have more than three unscheduled tardies per quarter. School personnel assume responsibility for the welfare and safety of students when their parents send them to school. We must be accountable for pupil attendance on a daily basis. Upon return from an absence, the student is required to bring a written excuse from a parent. When a student fails to do this, the parents will be notified by the teacher, preferably by phone, that the student was absent.
