Boosting Punctuality and Engagement with Your Student
Your encouragement can make a big difference in ensuring our students arrive to class on time, reducing tardies and detentions, and enhancing their learning experience.
Additionally, we encourage students to store their cell phones in the classroom "garage" to minimize distractions and cyberbullying. This simple act promotes better socialization and engagement in class.
Together, we can create a more focused and friendly learning environment for our kids.
