Tardy Policy
Families are allowed 4 tardies per quarter for any reason including inclement weather and traffic problems not reported to or acknowledged by the school administration. Therefore, parents are encouraged to adjust their morning schedules so that children are in their seats before 7:50 every day.
Upon the 5th tardy of each quarter a fee of $10.00 is due to the school office for that and every subsequent tardy that quarter. The fee is to be paid the next day. Fees not received will be noted on the following month's school billing. All fees must be paid by the end of the quarter to receive report cards, graduation diplomas, and before students may be enrolled for the following year. On days where there are obvious traffic or weather issues, the administration will waive this policy.
