A Note about Taking Attendance
It is very important for teachers to keep accurate attendance records. Please ensure that you are checking your roster for students that are absent and marking them daily. I know it takes time at a time of the day that you are excited about teaching but it is important. Thanks for your help!
Few Reminders...
Before you leave for the day, make sure that you turn your light out and lock your classroom door.
