Promptness is an important character trait that District staff is encouraged to model and help develop in our schools’ students. At the same time, promptness is the responsibility of each student. Students who are late to class show a disregard for both the teacher and their classmates which compromises potential student achievement.

MANAGEMENT OF TARDIES SPECIFIC TO THE HIGH SCHOOL

1. Any student at the high school that is tardy more than 49% of a class period, will have the tardy converted to an absence for that class period unless extenuating circumstances are present as determined by the principal or his designee.
2. High school students will be assigned lunch detention for each unexcused tardy as determined by the classroom teacher.
3. Any high school student caught outside their assigned classroom after the tardy bell has rung will be given one warning and then will be assigned to noon detention for every subsequent tardy. This procedure will start over at the beginning of each semester.
