"Partnering for Success: The Value of Being On Time"
As we work together to create a positive and productive learning environment, we’re reaching out to ask for your help in stressing the importance of being on time to class. Punctuality is more than just a classroom expectation—it’s a valuable habit that plays a big role in academic success and teaches life skills that will benefit your child well into adulthood.
We encourage you to have a conversation with your child about the real-world impact of being late. Whether it’s missing important instructions in class, disrupting the learning experience for others, or facing potential challenges in future jobs, being on time is a key part of being responsible and showing respect.
Please take a moment to talk with your student about how being punctual can help them both now and in the future. Your support in reinforcing these lessons is essential and helps create a stronger, more focused learning environment for everyone.
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting your child's success,
- Mrs. Marshall - Principal
- Ms. G - Assistant Principal
- and Mrs. Pingel - Dean of Students
