Being "On Time" at Jamaica
As parents, we look to you to ensure that when your students are sick, that they are kept home and well taken care of until they return. However, they are always responsible for making up work when they return. With regard to tardiness, it is truly IMPERATIVE that our students learn the importance of punctuality. Not just for the sake of being here, but to help them get their day started right and to ensure they are not missing out on critical instructional minutes in class. So, we appreciate your partnership and assistance in getting your students here on time each day.
Classrooms will be working toward spelling "PERFECT ATTENDANCE" earning one letter for each day all students are present. Classrooms can earn a free dress day for when this is achieved. In addition, our school is working on building even bigger incentives for classrooms who are able to achieve the "ON TIME" goal of having all students get to school on time for the most days in the quarter. So, let's help them achieve their goals and support their learning together!
Thank you for all you do! Crocs Rock! :)
