Scholar Punctuality We've noticed that there have been numerous incidents of

scholars arriving late to school. A majority of the reason is due to scholars hanging out with friends in the morning. We know

arrival starts at 7:35 am. Scholars are considered late at 7:51 am. Thank you for your collaboration.
