Every School Day Counts

Come Prepared To Have A Fulfilled Learning

Day
Please remind your child to bring everything needed
for school each day. Responsibility is a trait we
encourage. Whether it is lunches, homework and/or
instruments, it causes interruption to instructional
time to deliver or have the students come to the
office.

Making Arrangements for Appointments During

the School Day
To avoid interruptions to classroom instruction ,
please send a note with your student to give to the
classroom teacher if your student has an appointment
during the school day. Please arrive early enough to
get to the appointment on time as it can take up to 15
minutes to get a student out of class due to PE, lunch,
and passing periods, etc.

Attendance
Absences and tardies can greatly influence a student's
education. Please make sure your students are arriving on
time, school starts at 7:55 am. Students with chronic 1st
period tardies may be assigned Friday
School Detention. Also, remember to report any absences to
513-6451.
