TARDINESS

Promptness is expected of all students. Students who are not in their assigned seats when the tardy bell rings will be considered tardy. If a student arrives at school tardy during first period, he/she should report to the Main Office. Excessive tardiness will result in disciplinary action. Three tardies are equal to one day of absence.

Teachers will determine whether a tardy is excused or unexcused during periods 2 through 8 and will provide consequences according to the handbook. The assistant principal should be notified on a student’s 10th unexcused tardy.

Repeated tardiness to a class or to school will result in the following penalties:

1st - 3rd tardy  -------- warning

4th - 6th tardy--------- 1 lunch detention issued by the teacher

7th - 9th tardy--------- 40 minute detention after school issued by the teacher

10th + tardy--------- 1 day ISS issued by the assistant principal
