Tardy Policy
This policy operates by the quarter and on a "per-class" basis.
First/SECOND Tardy |
Documented by teacher in PowerSchool, verbal communication with student |
---|---|
Third Tardy |
Student is in danger of receiving a “U” in citizenship in that class for the quarter. Tardy referral may result in detention or other corrective action. |
Fourth or more tardy |
“U” in citizenship for the class for the quarter. Disciplinary referral which may include detention, loss of activities, corrective course work, and/or Attendance contract. Students begin each quarter with a “clean slate.” Those who earned a “U” at the quarter may earn an “S” or “E” at the semester if the tardiness has been resolved, and the teacher feels the student deserves such a mark. |
In order to “excuse” a tardy, students must have a parent/legal guardian note (or email sent) at the time of arrival. This allows our office to timestamp a pass to class. Students arriving late without a parent/legal guardian note (or email) will be issued an unexcused tardy. An unexcused tardy cannot be cleared after the fact.
Students begin each quarter with a "clean slate." Those who earned a "U" at the quarter may earn an "S" or "E" at the semester if the tardiness has been resolved, and the teacher feels the student deserves such a mark. School detention is not a part of the policy to clear a tardy or "U".
