Parents: please remember to keep a special eye on young ones during release times. Our parking lot and on-campus roadways are busy [and dangerous] places. Please also be sure to keep your children near you when inside the building. Finally, climbing trees can be a fun childhood activity--at home. Please do not allow children to climb trees at school. Our concern is for your child's safety while on our campus. Thank you for partnering with us in this endeavor!

Next week we will start recording tardies for students in K-8. Attendance and punctuality are recorded on the permanent record for all students in K-8. Students should stop in the office to receive a pass if they are late to school. Tardies recorded to date have been marked excused as we all get used to the school routine. Please note the school policy regarding punctuality:
Punctuality (Kindergarten-Grade 8)
(Student and Family Handbook, Page 9)
- Students who are tardy must be accompanied to the school office by an adult to school office to obtain a tardy pass.
- A child is considered tardy if he or she arrives in the classroom after the official start of the day, but within 50 minutes of that time.
- Students arriving later than 50 minutes will be marked absent for one-half day of school.
- Students who leave school more than 50 minutes before the dismissal time (2:25 PM) will also be marked absent for one-half day of school.
- Students in Kindergarten-Grade 2 will lose recess after being marked tardy three times in one semester and a notice will be sent home.
- Students in Grades 3-8 will serve a truancy detention (designed to address attendance issues), between 3:15-4:15 PM, after being marked tardy three times in one semester, and a notice will be sent home.
- After the third behavioral detention or loss of recess, a meeting with the principal is required to work out a plan to reduce tardiness.
- If tardiness continues and the plan does not result in punctuality, the School Committee will intervene.
