The information in this section is the quarterly policy and procedures for students who are tardy to classes. At the beginning of each quarter, the tardy policy will reset.

First block periods

• 1A/5B: Students arriving between 8:25 and 8:45 AM will be marked tardy in FOCUS upon entering the classroom.

• Students arriving after 8:45 AM must sign in at the front office and report IMMEDIATELY to their class.

All other periods

• Students should report to class after the tardy bell, and teachers will mark the student tardy in FOCUS.

• Any student tardy beyond 10 minutes in periods A2, A3, A4, B6, B7, and B8 will be considered skipping resulting in a discipline referral.

• Parents/guardians must submit a note to the front office for medical appointments to excuse the tardy.

• Excuse notes must be submitted to front office personnel within three (3) school days of the tardy infraction.
