⏰ Good Morning, Margil Families! Let's Start Strong! ⏰

Margil has an average of 50 tardies daily (in the morning and during the day). Arriving to school on time every day sets your child up for success. When students start their morning calmly and on time, they are more focused, confident, and ready to learn! 💪📚

Please remember the SAISD Tardy Guidelines:
✅ A student is considered tardy if they are not in their assigned area when the class bell rings and the teacher is unaware of their location (i.e. student arrived to campus on time and is in the cafeteria, walking their sibling to class).
✅ An elementary student who leaves school before official dismissal time (3:00 pm) is also considered tardy (i.e. a parents signs their child out early).
✅ A student is considered tardy if they enter their assigned area after the bell rings, even by a few seconds.

Let's work together to ensure our students begin each day prepared and on time. Every minute counts — and so does every child! ❤️

Thank you for your continued support! #EveryDayCounts #OnTimeIsOnTrack #SAISDStrong
