Getting Students “In School, ON TIME, Every Day”
Dear Parents,
We understand that mornings can be challenging and often compromised by many circumstances, however, please note that repeated tardies not only interfere with instructional time, they send the wrong message as a campus and community. In an effort to be fully transparent and communicate accordingly, please find the "In School, ON TIME, Every Day" Zero Tardy Campaign.
It is a monthly checkin and support system with reminders of our core values.
Be Responsible = "In School, ON TIME, Every Day"
Let's Go Ponies! Go for the GREEN! 💪
