Tardiness is defined as arriving in any class after the bell for the start of class has rung.

First Block of the Day

• Classes begin promptly at 8:00 a.m., and we encourage students to be dropped off or arrive on their own between 7:30 and 7:45 a.m.
  
• Students who are 15 minutes or more tardy to the first class of the day must go to the Attendance Office to obtain a tardy slip before attending their first class.  Twenty minutes or more tardy is considered an absence and the student is subject to disciplinary action.
• Students will receive​ detention beginning with the fourth tardy to school each semester.  Detention is waived in consideration of unforeseen circumstances for the first three tardies of each semester.
• Students who arrive more than 20 minutes late or are absent from a class 13 or more times are required to attend summer school for that course.                                                        ​
  
• Other Class Periods

• Tardiness to any class is a school infraction.  It may be excused only when it is the result of a counseling or other appointment with a school official and the student presents the teacher with a note from that person.
  

• “0" Period Classes

• Students enrolled in these classes are subject to all Absence and Tardy policies.  ("0" period classes begin at 7:00 a.m.)
• Credit may be withheld if a student accumulates an excessive number of unexcused absences.
