To further improve communication with our families, we will begin sending email notifications to parents/guardians when their student receives an unexcused tardy, starting when students return from Fall Break.
Our goal is to keep families informed of their student's tardies and ensure everyone is aware of our school's tardy policy and associated consequences.
UNEXCUSED TARDY POLICY (PER CLASS, PER SEMESTER)
As outlined in our Student Handbook, the following consequences apply to unexcused tardies:
1st Tardy – Documentation
2nd Tardy – Documentation
3rd Tardy – Email home and Zero-Hour Detention
4th Tardy – Email home and Zero-Hour Detention
5th Tardy – Email home and Zero-Hour Detention
6th Tardy – Email home, parent conference, and Saturday School
7th Tardy – Administrative review and Tier II/III consequence
IMPORTANT NOTE: For first-hour classes, students will receive their first Zero-Hour Detention on their 5th unexcused tardy, rather than their 3rd.
For high school students in grades 10–12, tardies may also affect eligibility for the semester exam exemption. Please review our MS/HS Tardies Counting as Absences guidelines for additional information.
We encourage families to discuss with their students the importance of arriving at class on time. Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we work together to encourage responsibility, accountability, and punctuality in our students!
