BUS RIDERS
Download the "Here Comes the Bus" app to stay up-to-date on any changes. The county code is 29158, for special needs transportation the code is 29158
Car Riders
For student safety, they must be dropped off at the designated locations, which are either the north or south side of the bridge. Upon arrival, students should report to the gym or cafeteria. Please note, students should not be dropped off at the front office unless they arrive late, which is after 8 AM. Thank you!
TARDY INFORMATION
- TARDY TO SCHOOL/CLASS? Tardy to school will be defined as arriving to school at 8:00 AM or later. Any student arriving to school after 8:00 AM must report to the attendance window to sign in for the day. Failure to sign-in could result in disciplinary action. It is the responsibility of the student to turn in all tardy notes to the attendance office.
- Excused Tardies: Students will not be penalized for excused tardies up to 5 times. After the 5th excused tardy, the student may be required to bring medical documentation, or the tardy will be classified as unexcused. The guidelines for excused tardies will be the same as for excused absences. Administrators may use discretion in dealing with extenuating circumstances.
- Unexcused Tardies: Consequences for unexcused tardies will be served, ranging from administrative detention to being referred to the Student Review Committee for long-term suspension/expulsion. Unexpected emergencies such as a flat tire, car trouble, overslept, etc. must be accompanied by a signed parent note. Students must produce a note within 24 hours, or this tardy will automatically become unexcused. Students will only be allowed one of these emergencies per semester
- Tardy to Class: Parents are contacted through the automated phone system if their student is tardy to any class. If a student misses one half or more of a class, they are counted absent. Any student arriving to 1st and 7th period over 10 minutes late (without an excused note), will receive a tardy and be referred to the appropriate administrator for skipping.
