Parents are encouraged to use good judgment in keeping children home from school. Children who are ill will have a difficult time attending to schoolwork and will expose other children to illness.

Students arriving to school after 8:30 a.m. are considered tardy and must report to the office before proceeding to class. Please remember that late students will interrupt instruction as they enter the classroom and likely will have missed important directions or introduction of a concept or skill. Constant tardiness will have an adverse effect on your child’s education. Excessive tardiness may result in consequences including, but not limited to, parent meetings and detention. Students who arrive to school after 11:30 a.m. or dismissed before 11:30 a.m. will be marked as absent. Please note: Students must attend school for at least half of the school day in order to participate in any school sponsored after-school activities.
