TARDY POLICY

All students are expected to be in school and/or class on time. This means being inside the classroom before the tardy bell begins to ring. If a student is not in the classroom on time, the teacher will mark the student as tardy. Students will be given a warning for the first three tardies. After the third unexcused tardy, students will be disciplined according to a hierarchy of consequences assigned by the administration. Tardies are cumulative, and not totaled on a class-by-class basis.  Tardies are monitored per semester.
