LATE ARRIVALS
Parents, it is of the utmost importance that you make an effort to ensure that your child arrives to school promptly every day.
Breakfast starts at 7:30 am and instruction begins at 7:45 am. We are at the beginning of a brand new school year and every day
and every minute of instruction counts and will make a difference. As key role players in your child’s education, please make sure
that your son/daughter arrives to school by no later than 7:40 am. Thank you in advance for your support and for making a
difference in your child’s life.
Padres, es de suma importancia que hagan un esfuerzo por asegurar que su hijo(a) se presente a clases todos los días
puntualmente. Instrucción inicia a las 7:45 am en punto, y para entonces los alumnos deben estar en sus bancos listos para
aprender. Estamos a principio del ano escolar y cada día y cada minuto de instrucción cuenta y hacen mucha diferencia. Como
piezas importantes en la educación de su hijo(a), les pedimos que asegure que su hijo(a) llegue a la escuela cinco minutos antes de
que las clases comiencen. Gracias de antemano por su apoyo y por hacer una diferencia.
