  19. Tardy/Late Policy Any student who arrives late to class after 8:00 AM will be sent back to the office for a late slip, with the exception of bus students. Students should arrive to school with enough time to settle in and begin school by 8:00. In addition, excessive tardiness will not allow you to become a safety patrol. *Four Reasons To Be At School On Time* Students who arrive on time perform better on class work and assignments. Students are more prepared for their day and consequently days run smoother for them. Students don’t miss assignments or direct instruction time. Students will be required to make-up missed morning work as homework or during recess.

  20. Reminders • - Please be sure that you have signed in! • - Get your child to school on time. School is open at 7:30 a.m. Children enter classrooms at 7:45 a.m. The tardy bell rings at 8:00 a.m. • - My email address is jcook@bengamlapalmbeach.org • - Volunteers? You must go through the school to be approved to volunteer and chaperone field trips.
