Having trouble making it to school on time every day?   Then it’s time to come up with a new plan.  Tardiness is a chronic problem for some students at Cowan Avenue, and it can create problems for all students and teachers.

Did you know that the most important learning of the school day occurs between 8:05 and 10:00am?

Students are the most alert and attentive at this time of day, so important subject matters and concepts are taught at this time.  When students arrive late to school, they miss out on some or all of these important subjects.  They also create a distraction when they walk into their classroom after other students have already started working.  Teachers must stop what they are doing and refocus the group.

Dear Cowan Community,

One major goal of the staff at Cowan is to establish a safe and happy atmosphere throughout the school where all children are given a maximum opportunity to learn and develop.  A major component of this objective is to develop self-discipline in every student through a program of consistent, fair discipline while letting them enjoy their school experience.
