Students arriving
late for the following reasons, will not be counted tardy:
a. Doctor or dental appointments that could not be
scheduled otherwise.
b. Car pool transportation being late.
Junior high and
high school students who are late for first period must report to the office
and obtain a Tardy Pass. This will go on your report card.
Students who know
they will be late to school for some unavoidable reason should have their
parents call the school to give the reason. A student who is more than
one period late will be counted as absent for the morning.
If a student is
tardy to one of the later periods, he/she must again go to the office to obtain
a Tardy Pass. However, if the tardy was caused by a conference with
another teacher, that teacher will see that the student is admitted directly to
class.
Any student who
accumulates five “tardies” for any reason, (except those handled directly by
teachers), in one quarter, shall receive a written warning with student
signature. After six tardies, parents will be contacted. Seven plus
tardies will be given an after school detention. Another detention will
be given for each subsequent tardy in that quarter.
In addition, for
every three tardies to a given academic class in one nine week period, a 2% deduction
may be taken from the student’s grade average for the quarter. In
non-academic classes, a detention may be given in place of a grade reduction.
