PRINCIPAL’S CORNER

We have implemented a couple of attendance competitions to start the new year. They will continue throughout the rest of the year. We desperately need to reduce our tardies school wide. Our “Don’t Be Tardy for the Party” competition will award a class each month that has the least amount of tardies.

So far, we have more students making it to school on time. However, we still have some work to do. Remember, students must be in the building by 8:30 a.m. to be on time. If there are any barriers to arriving on time, please let us know. We may be able to help.

Finally, remember that we are entering the heart of winter. Please ensure that students are dressed appropriately for the weather. If the weather is below 40 degrees, recess is automatically indoors.

Attendance/Absences/Tardies

To ensure that our students excel academically, they must attend school daily and be on time. When students are tardy, they miss valuable instruction, primarily in reading and language arts. Attendance will be tied into our school’s PBIS expectations in which students will be able to earn rewards and participate in fun activities.

When your child has to be absent, please inform the front office. Our absentee number is 708-756-2872.
