Effective Monday, September 9, 2024, we will be implementing stricter measures to address the increasing number of tardies students are accumulating. Our goal is to foster a more punctual and productive learning environment.
Here’s how the Tardy policy will work:
Tardies Will Be Counted Per Period: Each tardy will be recorded individually for each class period. This means that students can accumulate up to 6 tardies in a single day if they are late to all their periods.
Consequences for Tardies: For every three tardies accumulated in a day, students will receive one lunch detention. This could result in up to two lunch detentions per day if a student is tardy to every period.
Accumulating Detentions: If a student accumulates more tardies than they can serve through lunch detentions, they may be scheduled for after-school detentions.
We understand that unforeseen circumstances can sometimes cause delays, but we believe this policy will help improve overall punctuality and classroom engagement.
What You Can Do:
Encourage Timeliness: Please remind your child of the importance of arriving to class on time and the impact their punctuality has on their learning and the learning environment for others.
Monitor Attendance: Check in with your child about their class attendance and punctuality to ensure they are aware of how many tardies they have accrued.
We appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations with your child.
