It is with regret that I feel the need to speak to parents regarding tardiness of children. This is a growing concern, as more and more children are arriving late for school. This late arrival is disruptive to the class at work and also affects your child's own learning. NOTE: The first bell rings at 8:55 a.m, which allows children to come into the classroom. At 9:00 am the second bell rings and it is time for attendance and class to begin. Thank you for respecting these rules.
