Attendance & Tardies
In the morning before school begins, all children are expected to be present for Morning Prayer at the blacktopped, fenced in area directly behind the school building. We will say the pledge and morning prayers here. On rainy days the children will come to our classroom and wait for school to begin. Please have extra coloring books, word searches, workbooks, etc to work on while we wait for school to begin. It’s very important to be at school on time everyday because we begin working right away.
You may arrive at school as early as 7:30. This year our school day will begin at 8:00. Students arriving after 8:00 must report to the main office for a tardy slip before entering the classroom. Six tardies = 1 day absence from school. Absence of 20 days or more will put your child in danger of not being promoted to the next grade. Early checkouts will count toward tardies or 1/2 day absent.
