Talkington Warrior Weekly

• It's great to see so many parents excited to pick up their kids after school! Please pull up as far as you can toward the cones in front of Door 6, even if you see your student. Stopping early causes traffic to back up toward Ivory. Having your Warrior walk to the car builds strength and character!
• If you need more time for your student to exit the vehicle, such as having a crucial conversation or mobility issues, please park in front of the Fine Arts wing. This keeps the lines moving.
• Please safely pull up behind the vehicle in front of you to keep the line as condensed as possible; we have been having issues with cars blocking buses and exiting traffic shortly before the 4:05 PM bell.

On-Time Arrival Matters

Students are expected to report to every class on time and be ready to learn when the class begins. Tardies accumulate throughout the school year and can create gaps in learning, disrupt instruction, and cause students to miss important information.

Important Reminder

Tardies are cumulative for the entire school year. Repeated tardiness means missed instructional time and can affect a student’s learning and academic progress. Students are responsible for arriving to class on time every day.

Expectation: Be on time, be prepared, and be ready to learn.
