At Lakelands, we are focusing on attendance and punctuality because learning is what school is all about. When students miss class time—especially the important opening minutes—they miss instruction that is critical for success. We want to partner with parents and caregivers to ensure every student’s learning time is maximized.
Unexcused Tardy Definition: A student is considered tardy if they are not inside their classroom when the bell rings without a valid pass.
