(see Student Handbook - pg 11) - Regular school attendance is essential for the student to make the most of his or her education to benefit from teacher-led activities, to build each day's learning on the previous days, and to grow as an individual.

 

Tardies are very disruptive in effective education environments and are thus considered disciplinary problems. Students are to be in their classrooms when the tardy bell sounds at 8:10 a.m.

Disciplinary sanctions for tardies:
First tardy: verbal warning

Second tardy: verbal warning

Third tardy: equal to one absence on student's record for prompt/regular and perfect attendance purposes

Every third tardy thereafter will equal one absence on student's record, which will affect attendance awards given at the end of the year.
