Attendance We were disappointed that Kreinhop did not meet our attendance goals last year and it hurt us in many areas. This year we have set new goals and are working hard to meet them and need everyone’s help. Please have your children at school each day. Being on time and remaining in school for the entire school day is a critical part of student success. We teach from bell to bell at Kreinhop. (8:15-3:10!)

Tardies and Absences Students are tardy if they are not in the class at 8:20 when the bell rings. Students are absent if they are not in their class at 9:45 when the bell rings. Please send a note the day your student comes back from an absence.

Dress code No tank tops, spaghetti straps, or muscle shirts Shorts must be at mid-thigh No flip flops No head coverings (bandannas, scarves, hats) Please no sandals, there is lots of movement in music, PE, and at recess
