Tardy Policy

Students are expected to be on time for school. While events do happen that cause occasional tardiness; reasons such as car trouble, traffic, forgetting to set an alarm or oversleeping are generally considered an unexcused tardy. 

Students not in the building by 8:15 a.m. are considered tardy and must report to the attendance office to sign in. Students who arrive late to school due to a late school bus should also report to the attendance office to receive a pass; this is considered an excused tardy. Any students who are in the building by 8:15 a.m. but have not reported to class are considered tardy for school. 

Students are expected to be on time for all scheduled classes. Students will be considered tardy if not in the classroom at the assigned start time for that class. A student who enters the class after the bell has rung without an excused pass will receive an unexcused tardy.
