Attendance
Students may arrive between 8:10 and 8:25. Breakfast
is served at this time.
At 8:30 breakfast will end and those children will
make their way to class.
The tardy bell rings at 8:40. If you arrive after the
tardy bell you will need to escort your child into school
to receive a tardy pass. They will be considered tardy
for that day.
Excessive tardies, early-sign outs, and/or absences,
parents will be contacted to make an appointment with
an administrator.
Please have your child be here on time. It is very
important they do not miss out on valuable instruction.

Bullying Behavior
Unfair and one-sided. It happens
when someone keeps hurting,
frightening, threatening, or
leaving someone out on purpose.
unfair means there is an imbalance of power (social,
physical…). One-sided means that only one person is
being mean – not an argument or fight. It keeps on
happening. Bullying is not a one-time occurrence. It’s an
established pattern of behavior.
