5Classroom Procedures
- Punctuality is important.
- Please come to class on time with all your
supplies. Forgetting something in your locker is
not an acceptable excuse for being tardy. - Remember, just because you have a locker it
doesnt mean you have to use it every period.
Know what you need, when you need it, and how
youre going to have it with you when you get to
class.
6What is a tardy?
- Tardy, as defined in the Code of Student Conduct
(p. 6) is defined as an arrival to class after
the designated starting time or the tardy signal
has sounded. - An excused tardy requires a pass from a teacher,
administrator, or other staff member. Without a
pass the tardy is unexcused.
7Consequences for tardiness
- On the 4th unexcused tardy of the nine weeks,
your parent/guardian will be called and you will
be issued an after school detention. - A phone call to your parent/guardian and
- detention will be issued for the 5th, 6th, 7th
unexcused tardy. - A discipline referral will be written on the 8th
unexcused tardy.

start of class. - Students who check in with me before going to the
restroom will not be marked tardy if they are
late. - However, students who are late who are caught
abusing this policy will be marked tardy. - Leaving class to use the restroom will be limited
to emergency use only. Students will be required
to make up missed time during their lunch - If you have special needs, please inform the
clinic and all teachers.

the rules. Any overly disruptive or any

consequences (i.e. after school detention, phone
call home, office referral etc.) -
