Tardy Policy

A student is tardy to any class period during the school day if he/she arrives after the tardy bell has rung. The teacher will indicate a TARDY when taking roll and keep a record on a tardy referral notice, which will be turned in to the Assistant Principal after the third tardy, sixth tardy, ninth tardy, twelfth tardy, thirteenth tardy, fourteenth tardy, etc. The same rules apply for excused tardies as for excused absences. After the third tardy referral notice within a SEMESTER for a single class, which will total nine tardies, a student will be considered a "chronic offender" and an intervention meeting will be held with the parents, the student, and an administrator. It is strongly recommended that teachers and counselors attend the intervention meeting to demonstrate a united effort in support of the policy and of student learning. The consequences for being TARDY are as follows:

First three tardies in any one class during the SEMESTER= first tardy referral 1 after school detention assigned by the Student Advisor MTF 3:10-3:50

Parents and friends will be responsible for notifying the student of any such delivery not the attendance office. Failure of notification to the student will result in the flowers and/or balloons to be picked up by the student the next day at the end of school.
