Northwest Early Elementary
January 2022
Notes from the Principal
I hope everyone is ready to embrace the new year with a positive attitude along with the hope that everyone is healthy and safe! With all of the new challenges of 2021, we have learned a lot and will continue to do our best to keep our students safe and progressing in their academics. Students and adults need to get outside in the fresh air and enjoy the winter weather. Please make sure that everyone is prepared for this experience daily wearing boots, snow pants, coats, hats, and gloves. This precaution ensures a safe outdoors experience for all.
I appreciate your continued support,
Mark Short
Principal

MORNING TARDINESS
We encourage promptness since tardies affect everyone and disrupt classroom time. One of the most valuable life skills a student can learn from his/her parent/guardian is the responsibility of arriving at school every day on time. Morning is the time when important school news is announced, teachers define the plans for the day, and instructional goals are reviewed and set. The whole tone of a child’s school day is set in the first part of the day.
School starts at 8:25 a.m.
If your student is not participating in their classroom morning routine by 8:35 a.m. they will be considered tardy.
Students not in their classroom seat by 8:35 a.m. shall be considered tardy.
If the supervisory aides are not present when you drop off your student, they are tardy. Please make sure to come in the office and sign them in.
Doctor appointments/professional appointments are excused with a doctors note.
Please help support your child in learning habits that will help them be successful at school and throughout life. If you need help or have concerns getting your child to school on time please contact the office. We are here to help.
