A Note from Dr. Poquette

Starting December 4th, parents will get an email if their child is tardy for 2 or more class periods in a day. We have had an increase in excessive tardiness this year and we are hoping a conversation from parents/guardians will help. 
 
Thank you,
Dr. Sarah Poquette, Tipler/ALPs Principal
