Tardy, Dress Code, and Attendance News

On Monday, March 21, during lunches the students were reminded about being tardy to school and dress code. The entire tardy policy, dress code, and attendance policy can be found in the student handbook.

Tardy

Students that arrive to school late (8:00 to 8:15) are given two free passes each quarter in the event that there are car issues, over sleep, trains blocking roads or accidents that slow them down getting to school. After the two free passes the students receive a demerit for each tardy after. When they reach 6 demerits they are issued a Saturday Detention.
Students that arrive after 8:15 without parent notification for being late will receive a Saturday Detention for missing class.

Dress Code

Students were reminded that hoodies are not part of the EC dress code. Appropriate EC insignia crew neck sweatshirts and ¼ zip hoodies are the only permitted sweatshirts. Seniors are permitted to wear sweaters and college sweatshirts on Friday’s.
Students should not wear any style of tennis/basketball shoes.
Socks should be solid in color
The girls are not permitted to wear sweatpants under their skirts and the skirts should not be rolled up.
The boys are not able to start wearing their green or white short sleeve polo’s until May 1^st.

Attendance

Reminder that parents are to call in absences for all students. If we do not receive a phone call, the absence will be unexcused and the students will not be allowed to make up their work.
