Students are encouraged to arrive at 8.35am to settle, begin the morning routine and have the best possible start to the day. Parents will be able to assist in settling their child for the day and give any messages to the teacher.
If your child arrives at 8.50am, they will need to get organised quickly and enter the classroom quietly. Parents will not have the opportunity to enter the classroom or speak with the teacher.
If your child arrives after 8.50am, they will be late and will have missed the beginning of the school day. They are disadvantaged having missed the morning routine and revision activities.
All arrivals after 9.05am will require a late note from the office.
Being late a few minutes can be unsettling for your child and they will have missed key messages from the teacher.
- 5 mins late a day = 3 lost days a year!
