Tardy and Early Dismissal  Procedures

Tardy Policy and Procedures

A Tardy consists of any time a student is late for class. A student who arrives late to school or class is tardy. All teachers will close their doors to begin instruction when the tardy bell rings.

Any student who is tardy to school after 8:45AM must go to the attendance office to obtain a pass. If a student is more than 45 minutes late for class; the student will be counted as absent.

Tardies:

1st-3rd: Warning/Conference

4th-5th: Detention

6th-7th: ISS

8th+: OSS

• Excessive tardies to school may result in a loss of student parking privileges (1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month,or remainder of semester) no refund of parking pass will be given for loss of parking privileges.

• Tardies reset at the beginning of each semester.

Any requests submitted after 12:00PM on the day of the dismissal will require a parent to sign the student out in the front office. The only exception to this rule is approval by a school administrator. Students who are sick at school should report to the school nurse. The school nurse will contact a parent to come and pick up students who are ill at school.

Front office and school attendance staff will not dismiss students through telephone calls at anytime and will not accept emails for dismissal after 12:00PM each day. Pre-approved early dismissals should occur at the end of the block to avoid interruption of instructional time. Students with pre-approved early dismissals should report to the main office to sign out of school at the end of the appropriate instructional block.

Early dismissals during testing days are not permitted until the end of the testing block. Students may not be dismissed during a testing block for final exams, EOCs, and AP testing.
