[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son just started kindergarten this year in FCPS. We got a similar letter for 5 tardies. I was so upset when we received the letter. I now realize it is just a form letter.

However, if my child had that many absences in 3rd grade, I would be very concerned.

How are her grades?

I would think by 3rd grade, students are learning math that could not be followed along if you missed 2 weeks in a row.[/quote]

Those tardies are COMPLETELY on you.  Why in the heck can't you get him to school on time?[/quote]

PP here. My kid's school has kiss and ride. Often there is a long line and he would get to his classroom after the second bell rang. I'd estimate that he was less than 5 min late for each tardy.

I didn't even realize he was being marked tardy on those days since he went in through the normal day. We now get to the kiss and ride early. If you get there during the 10 min window, your child may not get inside the building on time.[/quote]
