There are many benefits to your child arriving to school on time. Did you know the likelihood of success in learning is strongly linked to attendance? It is important for families to develop good habits in children at an early age by arriving on time. .
The benefits of arriving on time, and we encourage early arrival, are:
• Ensuring students don’t miss out on important learning like reading and writing which are often taught as early morning activities when students are most alert.
• Helps students to learn morning routines which are important for child health and development.
• Allows students an opportunity to greet their friends before class and organize their belongings before learning beings.

Arriving late causes class disruption and can make students feel uncomfortable. If you know your child will be late, please send an email to woodlands@cbe.ab.ca or call our attendance line at 403-777-8640 extension 1 to leave a message. Please do not call the office directly, as the mornings are very busy in the main office.
