TARDINESS
School officially begins at 7:45 AM. A student is considered tardy if he/she is not in line for morning assembly by 7:45 AM. Students who arrive after 7:45 AM MUST go directly to the office as parking lot gates will be shut. The student will receive a “tardy slip” to allow entrance into the classroom. Habitual tardiness is very disruptive to the teacher and the class and does not teach the student responsibility. It is a serious matter, and without an acceptable reason, may result in attendance probation and eventual dismissal from the school.
Our policy is the following:
Tardies per trimester:
3 times = warning letter to parents
6 times = phone call to the parents requesting a conference and the student will receive a G in Attendance
9 times = student will receive an S in Attendance
12 times= student will receive an NI in Attendance
15 times = phone call to the parents for a mandatory conference and the students will receive an NI in Attendance
