Students arriving to school with time to spare have the luxury of settling in, greeting their teachers and classmates, selecting preferred classwork, and focusing their minds on the lessons to come. Students arriving late miss out on this natural transition period, and chronic tardiness may cause students to struggle with academic focus and relationships with peers. Showing up on time to school every day can help students develop the habit of being punctual, illustrates to them your commitment to their learning and friendships, and helps reduce classroom interruptions and distractions for all students. Missing just 15 minutes of school twice a week equates to 3 missed school days per year!

As we consider the possibilities for 2021, a new year and a fresh start, we ask all Springmont families to make a renewed commitment to arriving on time.  This helps your child's teacher and classmates AND your child.  If you would like tips on smoothing out your family's morning routine, please reach out to Cara or Nikki; they are a wealth of experience and sound advice.
