Good evening. Spring has sprung and the late night baseball has arrived. Now that that the time has moved ahead, we are seeing lots of cars coming in later each morning. Please remember that students must be in their classroom by 7:30 each morning in order to be counted present on time. We have given a brief grace period while we all adjusted to moving our clocks forward, but once the bell rings tomorrow at 7:30 you will have to come in and sign in tardy. Thanks for helping us correct this.
