Tardy Policy/Attendance
Unexcused Tardies
Every instructional minute counts and student tardiness interferes with the learning process. Please be respectful of your teacher and fellow classmates and be on time to class.
A tardy is defined as arrival to class after the tardy bell rings. Students must be in their seats when the tardy bell rings.
Teachers may give classroom consequences for tardies, which should include natural consequences. Teachers will outline their consequences in their syllabus.
School Messenger will automatically phone parents alerting them each time their student is tardy. If you feel you have received a message notifying you of a tardy, in error, please contact your child’s teacher.
