Tardy to Class

Teachers are to stand outside their door each period and encourage students to move quickly to class.
Teachers will wait 10 minutes after the tardy bell to submit attendance through the computer.
If a student is in the hall when the tardy bell rings do NOT allow them in to class.
Students who are in the hall when the tardy bell rings will be sent to a central location where an admit will be issued .
- Students who are leaving campus for the day WILL ALSO BE ISSUED AN ADMIT and counted tardy.
- Tardy passes will be issued for the FIRST FIVE minutes after the bell has rung.
- Students who are still in the hallway after the five minute deadline will be escorted to the office.
Students should not be admitted into class if they do not have a tardy admit.
- The students name, ID and class period will be on the admit.
- The time the admit was issued will also be visible.
- If too much time has elapsed since the admit was issued, the student should be sent to the office.
On the student's third tardy a morning detention will be assigned (6:45 a.m.). If the student fails to attend the detention, ISC will be issued for that day. Further tardies will result in further punishments.
Tardies and unexcused absences will be monitored by the office. Students who have excessive absences or tardies will be referred to the appropriate assistant principal.
