Learning is Cool... be early for school!

Starting school on time will:-

• Help get your child’s day off to a good start
• Put your child in a positive frame of mind so they can make the most of their learning
• Set positive patterns for the future
• Lead to good attendance
• Lead to better achievement 
• Create a good habit that the child can take into high school, further education and the workplace
• Lead to understanding that school is important and education is valuable
• Help your child develop a sense of responsibility
• Help your child make and keep friends
• Lead to success and self-confidence
• Every minute counts! Being late by just 5 minutes every day for one year is equal to 3 days of lost learning 

Don’t be late because…..

• It gets your child off to a bad start
• It can be embarrassing for your child
• It will be noticed by other children who might make negative comments
• It may lead to your child losing confidence
• It may lead to your child feeling confused all day! He/She will have missed out on vital instructions, information and bits of news at the start of day.
• It disrupts the lesson for everyone.
• It can cause your child to fall behind with his or her work
• It creates a bad habit that can be hard to break at high school and in the work place.
• Being punctual is important….. If you have a problem getting your child to school on time:
  • Talk to your child
  • Talk to the school
  • Ask for help.
