NEW INFO

SCHOOL TARDIES AND ATTENDANCE

Letters were sent out this week to families whose kids have missed ten or more days of school, or to kids who have been tardy 10 or more times. It is imperative that your kids arrive to school on time. Many teachers start their day at the tardy bell and late student arrivals are distracting and often interrupt teaching time.  The first bell rings at 7:45 and the TARDY bell at 7:55. This is especially important the next two weeks with ISASP testing.
