Email from the Robotics Club

From: Mr. Carter To: Robotics Club members and families Subject: Schedule changes for competition week

Hello, team,

Because the gym is being used for the band concert on Tuesday, February 10, our practice that day will move to Room 214 and will end at 5:00 instead of 5:30. Please bring only your laptops. The practice field will stay in the gym storage room until Wednesday.

On Wednesday and Thursday, we will practice until 6:00 to make up the lost time. If your student cannot stay late, please reply to this email so I can plan the driving and building teams.

The regional competition is Saturday, February 14, at Lakeview High School. The bus leaves our front entrance at 6:45 a.m. sharp, and it will not wait. Every student must turn in the signed permission form by Thursday. Without it, I cannot let anyone board the bus, even if a parent calls me that morning.

Thank you for all your hard work. I am proud of this team. Mr. Carter

Mr. Carter writes that the bus leaves "at 6:45 a.m. sharp." What does sharp mean in this sentence?
