    Tardy Policy

    All students are expected to be at school and in their classes on time before the tardy bell rings. At the beginning of the school day, students are tardy to school after 7:20 a.m.

    1. Students should report directly to the Attendance Office when arriving late to school.
    2. Students should bring a note from a parent and/or guardian indicating the reason for the late arrival. Include a phone number of the parent and/or guardian for verification. After ten parent notes for tardies and/or absences, students must bring a doctor's note or the tardies and/or absences will be unexcused. For any forgotten note, the student will have one day to bring it in. Please Note: Appropriate consequences will be given for any unexcused tardies.
    3. Attendance personnel will classify the tardy as excused or unexcused and issue a pass to class.
