When the bell rings, a student is officially counted as tardy if he/she is not inside the classroom for any class, study hall or homeroom. If detained by a guidance counselor, nurse, other teacher or an administrator, the student must have a pass to the next class. The student will be given an excused tardy. In all cases the student will be responsible for all work missed.
Tardiness is a disruption to the educational process. When a student is tardy they miss critical components of the lesson and more often than not force a teacher to reteach concepts or review the initiation phase of a lesson, which is a critical component of learning. When a teacher is forced to reteach due to tardiness it is a loss of instructional time for other students. The administration has called upon our teaching staff to help us with this endeavor. Five teachers who hold their administrators certification volunteered to address tardy to class. Tardy to school will be addressed by the teachers and if needed Ms. Ciccone.
