IMPORTANT REMINDERS
PUNCTUALITY: I understand how busy our schedules can be, and I truly appreciate all the hard work you do every day. As a gentle reminder, let’s strive to be punctual for staff meetings, assemblies, and other important gatherings. Being on time helps us stay aligned, respect each other’s time, and accomplish our shared goals efficiently.
Thank you for your cooperation and dedication!
STUDENTS MISSING CLASS: If students miss class, they are to catch up with teachers guidance. Plan some one on one time to teach whatever the student missed and create a calendar for the student to turn in essential missed assignments. This information should be shared with parents in case some of the assignments need to be completed outside of school hours.
DUTIES: If you are absent, please make sure to find someone to cover your duty.
ADULT BATHROOMS: Please make sure to use adults only bathrooms. Students safeguarding is our main priority!
