Glenview Gators are off to a great start! Students are doing a fantastic job navigating the building and learning their way throughout the building. Gators are also enjoying the beginning of the Fall Athletic season with Cross Country, Football and Volleyball all under way.
This week will be the final week of "practicing getting to class on time". All Gators have been learning their best route through the building and have done an amazing job getting to classes. With two and a half weeks of practicing getting to classes we will begin practicing "Hallway Sweeps" this Thursday and Friday with tardies beginning on Monday, August 26.
You may ask yourself, "What is a Hallway Sweep?"
A hallway sweep is a process where school Safety Monitors patrol the hallways after the start of class to identify students who have not made it to their classroom on tome.
How it works:
- Timing: Immediately after the bell rings signaling the start of class
- Process: Safety Monitors support students that have not made it to class on time, marking them as tardy and providing a tardy pass to enter the classroom
The goal of hallway sweeps is to:
- Reduce tardiness
- Create a more focused learning environment
- Improve classroom management
We want to remind you about the importance of being on time to class as every minute counts!
Why is being on time so important?
- You won’t miss out: Valuable information and activities are shared at the start of class
- Better focus: Arriving late can disrupt the learning environment for everyone - INCLUDING YOU!
- Respect for others: Starting class on time shows respect for your classmates and teachers
Being on time is an important life lesson so, let’s make a pact to be punctual! Your future self will thank you! #BeOnTime #MiddleSchoolRocks
Have a GATOR Week!
