TARDINESS
Tardiness has a negative effect on learning. Time lost in the classroom is irretrievable and disruptive to
the learning process.
Illegal absences from school are considered cutting of all classes missed that day.
School Tardiness: If a student reports to school late, he/she should sign in at the attendance office.
Lateness will be officially recorded on the students report card.
A parental phone call is required at the time of tardiness. If tardiness is illegal or occurs frequently, the
student is subject to disciplinary action. Seniors who are tardy are subject to revocation of parking
privileges.
Students arriving late to school must report to the attendance office to be signed in and issued a late pass.
All latenesses will be considered unexcused. If a parent or legal guardian feels the reason for lateness
should be excused, he or she must personally call the attendance office at 592-3135, and give the reason
for the lateness. Only the following reasons are acceptable: illness, doctor's appointment, court case or
family emergency. No other reasons are acceptable. If it is determined that the lateness is considered
excused, the information will go into the student's record as noted. Under no circumstances will a student
be issued an excused pass if the call is made by any individual other than the parent or legal guardian.
Calls should take place the same day as the lateness; however, if there is an extenuating circumstance the
parent or guardian may call no later than one week after the lateness. No changes will be made after that
time. Notes will not be accepted.
