Tardiness
A student is tardy if he or she arrives after the time fixed by the school for the beginning of the morning or afternoon session. If the student comes after 8:30am, he or she is marked AM absent. A student that leaves before 2:30pm is marked PM absent. A record of all tardiness is kept in the attendance register and records.
Late (Tardy) to School
Being on time is extremely important. Developing the habit of punctuality is good self-discipline, a life skill, and a social virtue. Ultimately it is the parent's responsibility to see that students arrive on time for school. Latecomers disturb the class and disrupt the teaching/learning process.
School begins at 7:50 a.m. Class instruction begins at 8:00 sharp and any student not unpacked and prepared for class at the 8:00 a.m. bell will be marked tardy.
All tardies are recorded on the student's permanent record.
5 tardies within one trimester will result in a letter from the administration to the parents 6 tardies within a trimester will result in a meeting with the homeroom teacher and the administration
