TARDY vs. ABSENT

A student will be marked TARDY if . . .

they are not physically across the threshold of the classroom door when the bell stops ringing/Bronco stops neighing.

STUDENTS ARE CONSIDERED TARDY IF ENTERING THE CLASSROOM . . .

within the first 0-9 minutes of class without an excused pass.

STUDENT ARE CONSIDERED ABSENT IF ENTERING THE CLASSROOM . . .

10 or more minutes late to class.

The student will be marked absent due to the 90% attendance rule. (Classes are approximately 50 minutes long, and students can only miss 9 minutes of class to be in compliance with the 90% attendance rule.) On the 10th minute and each thereafter, the student is no longer tardy, but is now considered absent.

PROCEDURES FOR A 1st PERIOD TARDY

Students that arrive tardy to school during 1st period from 7:30 – 7:39 am will receive their tardy pass in the rotunda from the Secretaries who are assigned to hand out tardies.

Students that arrive to school during 1st period after 7:39 am will check themselves in at the front desk on the student computer.

PROCEDURES FOR A 2nd – 7th PERIOD TARDY

The student’s teacher will mark him/her Tardy (0-9 minutes) or Absent (10+ minutes) as they enter the classroom via Ecampus. Both the parents and student will receive an automated email the day of the tardy stating the Period and Date of tardy with a description of the discipline (if any is needed).
