Tardy Policy. A student is considered tardy if he/she is not seated in his /her desk. Illness, doctor's appointment, family funeral, or school activity can be considered an excused tardy. Any other reason is considered an unexcused tardy. If a student is reporting to school late, he/she must report to the Attendance Office.

Teachers will document each tardy a student accumulates and assign appropriate consequence.
