007also gives us time to get class list going so that you know those Elementary especially in the kindergarten they send stuff out like a month before school starts and then as you'll see when we get to the second one that window is the secondary that window is much longer because we can take students right up till actually after school starts trusty ster um so this is kind of this is for all gr it's really not matter person but just to reiterate you know we've discussed this before if we have the choice to not accept some correct based on discipline yes discipline yep discipline is the main is the reason why you would not take a student on the school matter of fact I believe it's the only reason why you would not take a student
