From the Desk of Mrs. Del Prete
As the second half of the school year really gets rolling, here are a few things you can do to help your child be successful:
- Continue to follow a routine for before school, during school, and after school.
- Prepare for the morning the night before: Make sure their chromebook is charged and ready to go!
- Help your child get organized, make sure backpacks are uncluttered.
- Provide a quiet place for remote learning.
- Encourage curiosity – talk about current events.
- Allow for creative free time – every child needs to unwind especially after the days when they are remote learning and are on their devices.
- Demonstrate a positive attitude about education to your children. This is a difficult time for everyone, and being positive about school life can make a huge difference!
- Monitor your child’s television, video game, and Internet use. As a society our use of devices has increased, given the times. We all need a break from utilizing technology.
- Encourage active learning, responsibility, and independence!
The more these practices are created and expected at home, the more our students will be intrinsically motivated when they are at/return to school!
Warmest regards,
Candice

Attendance Procedures
Teachers will be tracking attendance in Google Classroom so you will not need to fill out an attendance form each day. The classroom teacher will handle this for you.
Don't Be Late!
8:10AM 1st Bell
8:15AM Tardy Bell
1:45PM School Dismissed
All students arriving late to school (after 8:15AM) must report to the office for a tardy slip. Every 5th tardy a note will be sent home. Continuous tardiness may constitute other disciplinary consequences. Our goal is for all students to arrive at school on time each day. When students are late, they miss instructional opportunities. Please keep in mind that students arriving after 9:15AM are no longer considered tardy, but will instead receive a half day absence.
Being late is detrimental to all students' learning, especially if it occurs on a consistent basis. Be sure to do all you can to prevent tardiness. Your child will thank you for it!
