TARDINESS

A student arriving tardy to school is to report directly to the Main Office for a tardy admittance slip.  This slip must be given to the teacher for admittance to class.  Such tardies are noted on the permanent record.  Tardies will be given excused status for the following reasons only:

1. Medical/Dental Appointments (with an official note of verification from the doctor’s office.)

2. Court Appearances (with official documentation from the court.)

All other tardiness will be considered unexcused.

Any student with an unexcused tardy to class will be assigned a Dean’s detention, to be served Monday - Friday (pending the detention schedule). Detention will begin at 3:05 p.m. end at 4:00 p.m.  If the student does not show up, he/she will serve a Saturday detention with the Dean or suspension.

Tardy Violation Progression Per Semester

1st Tardy: Warning

2nd Tardy: Warning

3rd Tardy: Detention

4th Tardy: Detention and Disciplinary Probation

5th Tardy: Conduct Referral, Saturday Detention

6 or more tardies: Strict Probation, Parent/Student Conference, Suspension or Expulsion

The Administration reserves the right to conduct unannounced tardy lockouts.  Remember students may be marked tardy if not in their seat when the bell begins to ring.

Students may be assigned a detention for each recorded tardy after the first 2 tardies. Detention rosters are posted regularly. If a student is assigned a detention for a tardy recorded in error, the student must clear the error with a note from the teacher to the Dean and registrar before the date and time of detention.  If the student does not clear the tardy before the date and time of the detention, the student will be held responsible for serving the detention and the usual consequences for missing an assigned detention.

ATTENDING/PARTICIPATING IN SCHOOL EVENTS ON DAYS OF ABSENCES 

A student who does not report to school for at least half the school day may not participate in any extracurricular activity or event.  Exceptions to this rule are VERIFIED medical/dental/court appointments. A student is to have a statement from the doctor noting the time and length of the appointment. Violation of this rule may result in disciplinary probation.

CAMPUS BOUNDARIES

Students are to stay in the designated student areas during the school day. The rear of the campus (adjacent to Consuelo St.),  is off limits to students during the school day as are all parking lots and athletic fields unless supervised by a teacher. During break and lunch students may use the east basketball courts. These are the courts adjacent to Senior Square.

During break and lunch, students are to stay in the café, arcade area, east basketball court area, and Senior Square (for Seniors only). The building is off limits at this time except for use of the restroom, club or organization meetings, or teacher tutoring/conferences.
