STUDENTS TARDY TO CLASS

A student is tardy to class if they arrive at the class after the bell to begin class – this definition of tardy to class must be consistently and fairly applied by all teachers.

Teachers should never condone lateness to class. When a student arrives late, the class should not be disrupted. The teacher should give the student a pink “Tardiness Explanation Slip” to fill out. Three unexcused tardies to class are equivalent to an absence. Any unexcused lateness of more than 10 minutes is to be considered a skip, and referred to the office.  After 3 tardies to a class, the student should be referred to an administrator.  (Please send the 3 tardy slips with  a conduct report to the office.)
