​TARDINESS

Tardiness is defined as the arrival on campus after the first period has begun or the arrival in class after the bell has rung to begin class (student must be in his/her assigned seat). Tardiness is disruptive to the educational process. All tardies will be considered unexcused, without approval of an administrator. Tardies are cumulative, counted for every class, and cleared at the semester.
