Punctuality Reminder
As we enter the new year, I would like to remind all families of the importance of good punctuality. Classroom instruction begins each day at 8:40am. On days with significant weather, we will sometimes be a few minutes behind, but generally speaking, when students arrive after this time, they will be considered late. Our most important foundational work in reading and math often occurs in the morning. When students arrive late, they miss key lessons and must play catch- up for the rest of the day. If your family is struggling with attendance or arriving on time, please feel free to reach out for support.
Warm Clothes
Winter is here! As a reminder, we try to get outside whenever possible throughout the winter. If it’s very cold (feels like 20 degrees or below), or if there is significant rain, or snow, we will consider staying inside for recess. On cold days, please send students to school prepared to spend time outside with warm jackets, hats, gloves, etc.
