TARDINESS TO SCHOOL

STUDENTS ARRIVING AFTER 8:10 AM ARE TARDY.

Tardiness to school is disruptive to the learning environment and has a negative impact on student achievement. Please cooperate in maintaining a classroom environment conducive to learning for ALL students by getting your child to school on time. Children who are tardy to school must report to the office WITH A PARENT OR GUARDIAN TO CHECK-IN and receive a late pass.

Student attendance and tardy arrivals are monitored on a daily basis. The consequences of excessive tardiness will be addressed on a case-by-case basis to determine if there is a pattern of non-attendance. According to the Broward Truancy Intervention Program, excessive tardiness will result in parent contact and referral to the State Attorney's Office.

All Broward County Public Schools conduct regular exercises and drills at various times as outlined in the Florida Fire Code and Florida Administrative Code.

To aid in this process, every school has a designated SAFE team comprised of faculty and staff who have been specially trained on appropriate procedures to ensure every school follows safety protocol.

Discussion-based tabletop exercises are also conducted regularly with staff, faculty, and community partners, and the results of these exercises are documented and incorporated into school safety plans as necessary.  

All public schools are required to conduct one (1) fire drill per month with one (1) additional occurring within the first 30 days. Additionally, public schools are required to conduct, at a minimum, six (6) emergency drills every school year that are nonconcurrent with fire drills. One emergency drill must take place within the first ten (10) days of the beginning of the school year, and the remaining drills may not occur more than forty-five (45) days apart. Four (4) of the six (6) emergency drills must address active threats. The remaining two (2) drills must address other emergency events, such as severe weather, natural disasters, hazardous materials incidents, or reunification.

Students are expected to fully participate in drills and follow the directions of faculty and staff.

Controlling School Traffic is Essential for Safety

Students should be picked up and dropped off at the car loops only.  Parents wishing to park should walk their children to the front gate. For safety reasons, parents are not allowed to walk their children to their classrooms.

The Markham staff will be spending time sharing Markham’s expectations for our students. Several times throughout the school year, we will be going over our expectations for students as they move throughout the school. Please assist us by reviewing the expectations outlined below with your child. This can occur by simply asking your child the following questions:

• “What did you learn about STAR expectations today?”
• “How did you demonstrate STAR expectations today?”
• “In what ways will you demonstrate STAR expectations tomorrow?”
• “How can I/we help you demonstrate STAR expectations?”
• Each month, Markham staff will be on the lookout for students consistently demonstrating STAR expectations.

These students will be recognized during our monthly Shining STAR Assemblies. Thank you for your support in reviewing these expectations with your child!
