Tardy Policy for In Person Learners
Students that arrive after 8:00 are counted tardy. Students that ride the bus are not counted tardy. Students that are dropped off in the car line may be counted tardy if they arrive after 8:00. We are working on making sure the morning car line is as efficient as possible to avoid students being late to class.
Our morning car line looked very good on Friday and there was not a line of cars at 8:00. We will monitor the line again on Monday and Tuesday.
Students will be counted tardy if they arrive after 8:00 beginning on Wednesday, September 16.
