Tardies
Arriving late to school or class is not responsible student behavior. Punctuality is an essential part of the college preparatory learning experience. All students should arrive at school at least 20 (twenty) minutes before the tardy bell (Monday thru Friday - 7:40 am). A student is tardy for class when not in his/her proper seat at the second bell and is not prepared for the class to begin. Parents are notified by an electronic voice message when their child has been marked tardy for the first period of the day. Students are allowed 5 excused tardies per semester (Excused tardies are accompanied by a written note from a parent or guardian). Tardies which occur after the first period will result in a detention. Habitually tardy students are liable to suspension, probation, or loss of credit. Excessive tardiness may result in referral of the student's record to the Disciplinary Review Board. Cantwell-Sacred Heart of Mary High School reserves the right not to admit tardy students to class.
Tardy Limits
After five (5) unexcused tardies in a semester parents will be notified.
After ten (10) unexcused tardies in one semester a student will receive a Saturday detnetion and may be placed on attendance probation.
After fifteen (15) unexcused tardies a student may be called before the Disciplinary Review Board.
