⏰ Let's Talk about Tardies!
Be On Time – New Tardy Expectations Starting 2nd Quarter
Starting 2nd Quarter, our school is putting a stronger focus on being on time to class. Arriving before the bell rings helps you get the most out of every lesson and keeps your day running smoothly.
Being late—even a few minutes—can mean missing important directions, class discussions, or the chance to get started on assignments. Plus, it can interrupt learning for everyone else.
Beginning this quarter, students who are tardy may face new consequences such as loss of privileges, detention, or required academic support time.
These expectations are meant to help everyone build good habits that lead to success in school and beyond.So set those alarms, keep an eye on the clock, and make being on time part of your daily routine—because every minute in class matters!

😎 Project Wisdom Messages
October: Making a Difference
What is Project Wisdom? Project Wisdom is a character education program where daily messages are broadcast every morning with an overall monthly theme.
Some quotes for this week:
- There is no shortcut to achievement. Life requires thorough preparation.
- You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
- Who asks at once for much, returns home with an empty bag.
