2014-2015 Tardy Bell and Full Bell Schedule

Taken from the Albert Hill Facebook Page:

Attention to all!

TARDY BELL & FULL BELL SCHEDULE FOR 2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR!

Please be aware of the tardy bell schedule change! The first bell rings at 7:55am and the tardy bell rings at 8:00am, NOT 8:05am!!! Attendance policies for RPS have changed as well, your child's tardies may add up to absences. Please plan accordingly!

7:55am: Student bell/locker break
8:00am: Tardy bell
8:00am-8:30am: Homeroom

Parents & guardians, thanks for helping us maximize instructional time for our students! Remember, with the new RPS attendance policy implemented this year, any five unexcused tardies or unexcused early dismissals count as a missed instructional day.

With the new class periods lasting 70 minutes instead of 90, being ten or fifteen minutes late (or leaving ten or fifteen minutes early) can really make a difference in your child's learning.
