Dear Thomas B Riley Families, 

Welcome Back!

We hope you had a restful and relaxing Spring Break. We are ready to jump back into the final quarter of the school year. 

Focus for the Spring – Class Attendance

One of our focuses this Spring is working with our students to minimize the number of students in hallways during class time. Some of our students are spending increasingly more time in the hallways or bathroom than in their actual classes. 

We are actively monitoring repeat offenses of this specific issue with students and will be contacting home if we notice this is an ongoing issue with your child. Students are asked to attend each class and take a break during nutrition break and also the lunch hour. Given that we have a shortened day, this is more than sufficient for breaks during the school day. 

If students are repeatedly asked to return to class within the same school day and are uncooperative about remaining in class, they will be sent home. This is to ensure a safe and respectful school environment for all and reduce the number of issues we see during unstructured times. 

Thank you for your support with this.
