We are seeing an exceptionally high number of tardy arrivals in our K-8 program lately. Tardy arrivals are disruptive to the classroom and teacher as students are walking into class and unpacking for the day during prayer and announcements. While we understand occasional issues arise (unusual traffic, etc), these should be few and far between. If your child is not making it to school by 7:45am, please adjust your morning routine accordingly. The breezeway doors will close promptly at 7:50am. All students should be in their classroom by that time.
In addition, if your child does come to school tardy, our policy is that an adult MUST come to the main office (with the student) to sign them in.
For Kindergarten students, please ask the secretary for someone to walk your child to the classroom (parents are NOT permitted to walk their child down). Thank you to the parents that have routinely followed our posted protocol.
