Tardy Policy
-
Students are responsible to be in their assigned seat or workstation when the tardy bell rings at the beginning of each class; being tardy is disruptive to the teaching/learning process. All students arriving to school after 8:00 AM must check in with the attendance office before going to class. The student should have a note from the parent/guardian explaining the reason for the tardy. If the student does not have a note, one detention will be assigned for each period missed. The automated phone system will notify parents of a student’s tardy and a letter will be mailed home. Teacher may verify tardy with student and call the parent when a pattern develops. Teachers may also assign consequences and tardies may also affect citizenship grade.
