[quote=Anonymous]OP or ASFS ppl, what is going on with the new principal? There is one month left of school and we randomly are notified the school start time is back to 9:00 am where it used to be until she changed it (or tried to) in January.  This is so confusing and weird.

Parents,

Many parents have asked recently for the official start time at ASFS. School and instruction both begin at 9:00am. Students may arrive at school starting at 8:35, and they will be marked late after 9:00.

Thank you.

ASFS Tardy Policies	
Arlington Science Focus School

Dear ASFS parents,

As you all know, school starts each day at 8:50am. Morning announcements start playing at 8:50, and teachers start instruction immediately afterward. It is important that students be on time every day, as they miss important information and the daily routines when they are late. We do understand that some students arrive tardy due to doctor's appointments and the like; those are excused tardies.	Unfortunately, we also have many students who are receiving unexcused tardies.

Until now, we have had a "grace period" for tardiness until 9:00; we have only marked students tardy after 9:00. However, there has been a great increase in the number of tardy students over the last few weeks. There are so many students arriving late that there is often a line at the door to get in.

In light of that, we will now be shutting the front doors at 8:55, not 9:00. Students arriving after 8:55 must be accompanied by their parents to the main office before they can go to class. If you pull up to drop your child off, and the doors are closed, that means you must walk your child in and sign them in.

Thank you.
Gina Miller, Principal
