Supervision in the yard begins at 8:45 a.m.
Let's ensure all of our students arrive at school on time.
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.
