Tardy Policy-

Since instructional time is very important, it is necessary that students be in class and prepared for the lesson to begin WHEN THE TARDY BELL RINGS. Tardiness not only means lost instructional time for the tardy student, it is also disruptive to the teaching and learning activities conducted in the classroom. GENERAL PROCEDURES ON TARDINESS: a warning bell will ring at 7:48 a.m. and pupils are expected to be in their classes when the last bell rings at 7:55 a.m. Even though students may be in the building, they will be considered tardy if they are not in their room when the tardy bell rings. This procedure is repeated each period of the day. Passing time is seven (7) minutes.

THE RULE ‑‑ Be in class on time ready and willing to learn!

Students should be prompt to each class. When the last be rings students will not be admitted to class. The student must report to the tardy check in station. The student will be issued a pass and assigned consequences for the infraction.

Consequences

1^st Tardy – Warning is documented

2^nd Tardy – Warning is documented

3^rd Tardy – One day of After School Detention

4^th Tardy – Three days of After School Detention

5^th Tardy – One day of ISI or Saturday School in addition to parent conference

6. Tardy-   Additional Days of ISI possible suspension

Failure to do the assigned consequence will result in the student being elevated to the next level of discipline. Tardies will be accumulated on a nine weeks basis. At the beginning of each nine weeks all students will begin at level one. It is the responsibility of both the parent and student to ensure students learn the importance of being on time. Two warnings are given each semester in consideration of circumstances beyond your control. Any student exceeding two tardies in one nine weeks, however, will receive consequences.
