Importance of Timely School Arrival

Dear Parents

We have noticed an increase in students arriving late, and we want to highlight the importance of punctuality for a successful learning experience.

Being on time sets a positive tone for the day, allowing students to start calmly, engage fully in class, and not miss important instructions. Consistent tardiness can disrupt the class and impact your child’s learning.

While we understand occasional lateness, we kindly request your help in stressing the significance of being on time. Together, we can create a more focused and productive learning environment for all.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
