Late Arrival on Thursday: What is Your Student Doing?
Stevenson will follow a late-arrival schedule on Thursday. Classes will begin at 10:30 a.m. The Catalyst club and Stand Strong Coalition remind parents that late-start days can provide students with unmonitored time prior to school, and can lead to high-risk behavior for some, such as drinking and smoking marijuana. The two groups recommend that parents ask their students these four questions: Where will you be? With whom will you be? What will you be doing? and What time will you be leaving home?
