Tardies

• When arriving late to school in the morning, students should report directly to class for the first 15 minutes.

• Starting at 8:15, students need to report to the Attendance office  to get a Late Pass and be properly coded in the system.

Students that are habitually tardy will be referred to the attendance coordinator and/or administrator. Consequences for habitual tardiness can include lunch detention(s) or Saturday School. 

❗Excused/Unexcused Tardy❗

When a student is late to school because of illness or a medical appointment, the student must bring a note from the medical appointment, or the parent can Email RDM attendance with the information to be excused.

If a student is late to school or class for a reason other than illness or medical appointment, i.e. overslept, traffic, etc., it is recorded as an unexcused tardy and can result in getting assigned Saturday school.

MORNING UNEXCUSED TARDY: 

Students who arrive late without a doctors note or a valid parent excuse will receive a Lunch detention.  After the third offense, the student will be assigned a Saturday school⬇️

First Unexcused Tardy= first and only warning

Second Unexcused Tardy= Lunch Detention

Third Unexcused Tardy= Lunch Detention

Fourth +  Unexcused Tardy= Saturday School 

PASSING PERIOD TARDY: 

Student will get an automatic detention. There is no reason for student's to be tardy once they are on campus.  

ACCUMULATED UNEXCUSED TARDIES:

Every 8 tardies before 8:15 marked by a teacher will result in a Saturday School

❗All detentions and Saturday Schools must be served to be eligible for all school extracurricular activities.❗
