Parents/Guardians:

Students drop off is in the back of the school. The arrival lane does not close until 7:45 AM. The side entrance is not blocked off at all. You may park on the side and students may enter through the back door until 7:45 AM.

At 7:46 PM (when the bell rings) students are considered late and must be signed in tardy by a parent/guardian.

Remember- teachers start instruction at 7:454 AM. Students need to be in their seats at 7:454 AM-not entering the building at that time.

We want to thank all the parents who are supporting instruction and following policy. Your student's academic progress is our TOP priority! Thank you!

Instruction and student growth is the highest priority for our staff and your student's success. Thus, students need to arrive on campus by 7:40 AM and be in their seats ready to start instruction at 7:45 PM.

Students, PK-8th grade, who arrive after 7:45 AM are tardy and must be signed in by an adult.

On Monday, the front of the building will be blocked off until 7:45 AM. Please do not drop your students off at the front. Students drop off is on the side of the building or in the back.

Please read through the tardy policy and the tardy consequences.

TBP Tardy Policy/TBP Student Handbook

At Trinity Basin Preparatory, we are sincerely focused on the academic success of our students.

To reach this goal, school attendance is essential. An integral part of school attendance is

promptness. Regular and timely attendance will ensure that each student’s education will be

uninterrupted and will help to ensure they have a successful and positive academic experience.

Any student not in their classroom at the beginning of the school day will be required to sign in at

the office and receive a tardy pass in order to be admitted to class. Parents must come inside the

building and sign the student in with front office personnel for each tardy.

The following progressive consequences will occur when students are tardy.

• First and second tardy: Student and parent are given a verbal warning when signing in at the

office.

• Third tardy: A telephone call to the parent notifying them that the student will be serving a lunch

detention.

• Fourth tardy: The student and the parent will be required to serve a Friday detention (1 hour).
• Fifth tardy: A parent/assistant principal conference will be held during which the assistant

the principal shall explain that the student’s tardies are becoming repetitive “Type A” behavior. The

student and the parent will be required to serve a Saturday detention (3 hours).

• Sixth tardy: The student will serve a one day in school suspension.
• Seventh tardy: The student will serve a two day in school suspension.

Subsequent tardies: The attendance committee will determine the consequences for all

subsequent tardies.

**Important Note**

Tardies will “reset” each six weeks. However, consequences may be accelerated for chronic,

repeat offenders. For example, if a student reaches 3 or more tardies in a six-week period a

parent/campus administrator conference will occur in addition to disciplinary actions determined

by the attendance committee.
