TARDINESS

A student is considered tardy if he/she is not in his/her homeroom when the tardy bell rings at 8:05 a.m.

Students who are tardy disrupt classes and cause loss of instruction time for themselves and for other students. Furthermore, being on time for school helps establish responsibility and good work habits which are important both in school and in later life.

A student who arrives late must report to the office to obtain a tardy slip which is given to the teacher upon entering the classroom. This allows the office to correct the attendance report.

Any student who has 2 or more tardies is ineligible for a Perfect Attendance report.

With regards to severe weather conditions, students are allowed into the school building at 7:45 a.m. on days when it is raining or extremely cold.
