Let's Be Punctual
SET THE RIGHT EXAMPLE
Children follow the lead of their parents. If you place importance on regular and prompt school attendance, so will your child:
• Provide a home environment that encourages learning and curiosity.
• Treat school hours with respect. If you have to make an appointment for your child, arrange it before or after school or at the very beginning or end of the day.
• Show interest in your child’s education by asking about the school day, celebrating school successes, attending school events, parent-teacher interviews, volunteering at school, and communicating with your child’s teacher. The more you value school, the more your child will.
• If your child resists going to school for no apparent reason, talk to him/her about any possible problems with the school, teacher or other children. Don’t give in to coaxing or pleading; that creates a bad precedent.
Some families plan trips during the school year due to scheduling of vacations from work or to take advantage of low travel costs. When this occurs, children of every age miss valuable learning which can impact on their success. Even brief absences can have a negative impact.
Family trips can be a wonderful learning experience, but should be saved for school vacation time, such as March Break.
Let's keep working towards all students being on time for school on Monday.
Again, we are respectfully reminding parents not to park in the crosswalk or block the crosswalk as this prevents children from using the crosswalk safely to enter the school building. Thank you.

Why Does Attendance Matter?
Getting to school – every day and on time – is very
important. Learning occurs daily, right from the
start of class. By establishing patterns early on
(i.e. by being punctual and responsible) children
acquire positive habits about school attendance.
Some other things to consider:
• If children are late arriving to school, they miss important social time with their peers before school begins.
• Students who are late often feel embarrassed or self-conscious.
• Late arrivals disrupt the routine of the classroom.
• A last-minute rush can be stressful for the child, and get him/her to school in the wrong frame of mind.
• Missing even five or ten minutes of the day can make it harder for a student to understand the material being taught.
• Frequent absenteeism leads to gaps in a child’s skills and knowledge base and can cause the child to fall behind peers and decrease self-esteem.
• Too many missed school days can increase isolation as the child stands out from his/her classmates and misses opportunities to develop socially.
• Absenteeism makes it tougher for the child to develop a good rapport with the teachers.
Please ensure that your child arrives to school on time.

Let's Be Punctual
I hope everyone had a great long weekend. School resumes on Tuesday, February 20 and we look forward to seeing all of our students at school and on time.
The morning can be a very hectic time. Here are some effective tips for getting your child up and out the door on time.
• Get your child to bed at a reasonable hour.
• Set realistic and consistent schedules and rules at
home. Getting ready for school should be part
of the child’s overall routine; something that’s
expected of him/her every day.
• Do whatever is necessary the night before to
save time in the morning, such as setting out
clothes, packing lunches, and setting backpacks at
the door.
• Create a set morning routine that your child can
easily follow (i.e. washing hands and face, going to
the bathroom, dressing, making the bed, brushing
teeth, and eating a healthy breakfast).
• Avoid any distractions that can slow your child
down, like TV or games.
• Set your alarm to get up earlier if you’re running
late regularly.
Students can be dropped off at 8:45 a.m
Supervision in the yard begins at 8:45 a.m.
We are also reminding parents not to park in the cross walk as this makes it very difficult for students to use the cross walk safely.
Please help us to keep all of our students safe by parking in legal parking spots at all times.
