Tardy Policy

TARDY TO SCHOOL

Any student reporting to school after 8:15 a.m. is to report to the Main Office. Parent phone calls to validate a late arrival will be accepted until 12 Noon. All other students will receive an unexcused tardy.

• Doctor, dentist or orthodontist appointments are examples of excused tardies.

• Sleeping in, alarm clock malfunctions, etc., are unexcused tardies.

Please note that after a student's third unexcused tardy within a quarter, that student will receive a referral, be issued an after-school detention, and parents will be notified. Subsequent tardies will result in additional consequences.

TARDY TO CLASS

Any student reporting to class after the bell/tone needs to have a written pass from a teacher to excuse the tardy. If a student does not have a pass, an unexcused tardy will be recorded by the teacher. Any student who accumulates three unexcused tardies within a grading period will receive a discipline referral and a detention.
