Late Arrivals

Punctuality is a virtue Please make every effort to get your child/children to school on time. Good habits and bad habits are learned NOW and they last a lifetime. We understand that occasionally tardiness cannot be avoided, however do not make a habit of arriving late. Tardiness is disruptive to the class and unsettling for your child / children.
