Lateness / Tardiness

Tardy to School

Any student who is not in class by 7:30 a.m. must report directly to the Main Office and sign in.  Students must present an acceptable note documenting the reason for their tardiness.  If a valid note, documenting an excused reason is not received at the time of tardiness, the tardy will be unexcused and a detention will be issued, all beverages and food shall be disposed of upon late entry.

An entrance pass will be issued by the main office which the student must present to their current session teacher to gain entry to class. 

NOTE:  Car problems and oversleeping by the parent or child are not considered legitimate reasons for being late to school.  Once students decide to drive themselves or travel with other students, rather than take the bus, they must assume personal responsibility for their attendance.  

A student who enters school late but does not sign in with the Main Office is considered to be cutting class even if present.
