Tardy Policy

Students are expected to be on time and attend every class daily. Students who arrive after 7:35 are considered tardy once the bell has sounded.  Tardiness will be excused for the following reasons only when supporting documentation is provided to the attendance office: (1) Medical, dental or counseling appointment; OR (2) Administrator-approved reason. Any student entering the classroom after the tardy bell should enter the classroom silently, minimizing disruption to the learning environment.

Procedures for tardies after 7:35

• Anyone who arrives after this time must be accompanied by a parent/guardian to sign in at the front office before being admitted to class.  Parents/guardians may park in the front parking lot, come into the front office, and present a photo ID to be scanned in before a student is admitted to class.

• If a parent/guardian chooses not to accompany their child to the office, a phone call will be made each time this occurs.  If the tardiness continues, disciplinary action could be taken, which may include the following:

  • • • Verbal warning

      • Lunch Detention

      • ISS

• Students who are tardy (unexcused) to school three or more times in a quarter are subject to disciplinary action, which may include the following:

  • • • Verbal Warning (1st Offense)

      • Parent Call Home (2nd Offense)

      • ISS for electives, up to one full day of ISS (3rd Offense and more)
