[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can any current or recent Appletree CH parents comment on their lateness and absence policies? I've heard stories about kids not being allowed to come to school for the day if they arrive late. I want my kids to respect school, and we try very hard to get them out the door on time, but as a working parent, the idea that we're always one 5-minute delay away from having to find backup childcare for a day is terrifying to me.[/quote]

We went to CH last year.  Once in awhile arriving at 9:02 or 9:07 will probably not be a problem.  Arriving once a week 5+ minutes after 9:00.. Appletree is not for you.  We are a family who can be quite chaotic in the mornings (well, chaotic all the time!), but in the end we appreciated Appletree's strictness on this, because it made us be there on time, and we almost always were.  Sporadic lateness is probably workable.  Regular lateness, not a good fit with Appletree.

Btw at CH they say the cut off is 8:45, which is why everyone is there by 9:00 because they start acting like you're late after 8:45.  But as long as you're there by 9:00, you're good.[/quote]

Thank you! I have to think about this, but it's exactly what I needed to know.[/quote]
