Attendance
Regular school attendance is critical to the learning process. When your child is absent or late, he or she misses valuable instructional time. Please send a written note of explanation to me or the office whenever your child is absent. See "Make-Up Work" in the ABCs of Third Grade to learn more about our class procedures for completing missed assignments.
Arrival & Dismissal
Class begins at 8:00 a.m.
Your child should not arrive before 7:45 a.m. unless he or she is eating breakfast at school.
Students will wait with the rest of their class outside our grade level door until the bell rings. If it is raining, snowing, or the wind chill is below 20˚, students will sit inside near their classroom until the bell rings. There will be adult supervision beginning at 7:45 a.m.
Students arriving late should go to the office to check in. Please note: All grade-level doors will be locked immediately at 8a.m., so anyone who arrives late will need to enter the building through the main doors.
Class ends at 3:10 p.m. (Early dismissal at 1:10 p.m.)
Students will exit through their grade level door unless they go to Kids’ Time or ride a bus. If your child meets up with siblings or friends after school to walk home, please help them choose a suitable location outside to wait for one another.
Please send a note if your child will be leaving early or be picked up by someone other than the usual person.
