Tardy Policy: p.13 in Parent Handbook• TARDY A student is tardy if he/she arrives after the 8:00 a.m. bell rings OR when

carline is over in the afternoon. A student who is late in the morning is required to report to the front office for a tardy slip before being admitted to class. A student who is not picked up on time in the afternoon will receive a tardy. Habitual tardiness is disruptive and seriously affects a student's school performance. Tardies are recorded for each grading period on report cards.

•After the 5th tardy per trimester, a student will serve an hour detention after school on the day of the 6th tardy recorded and each tardy following that for the trimester.A fee of $15.00 PER CHILD/PER DETENTION will be included in the family monthly tuition payment. The fee is to pay an employee to man after school detention.

•If necessary, parents will be contacted to discuss habitual tardiness and students may be subject to dismissal from school. If a student misses two to four hours of a school day, he/she will be marked ½ day absent.

•Perfect Attendance Award is given at the end of the year to students who have not been absent the entire school year. Five (5) tardies is equal to one (1) day absent.
