Williamston Primary School

Parents please be reminded that school starts promptly at 7:55 and our Tardy bell rings at 8:00. It is important that you make sure that your child arrives to school on time to ensure that they are not missing any instructional time. Also parents not only is it important that our students arrive to school on time but that they present at school daily so they can receive their maximum amount of instructional time. We want to ensure that all of our students are academically successful and in order to do that they must be present at school daily and arrive on time. Also parents please help us during this period of COVID in keeping all of our students safe by keeping your child home from school if they develop any symptoms that could be attributed to COVID. Also please make sure that you send your child to school with a mask daily. Thank you for your efforts in helping us keep our students and staff healthy and safe. Again we say Thank you for all you do for Williamston Primary School.
