Students who are late to class are designated tardy and will be assigned disciplinary consequences if they are tardy, without an acceptable excuse, on four or more days within a period of 45 rolling school days. Egregious tardiness—e.g., arriving to school after attendance has been taken—will be classified as an absence for the purpose of compulsory attendance enforcement if unexcused.
Nearly all tardiness is avoidable and is excusable only in cases of illness or emergency. To get an excused tardy slip, the student’s parent must report to the school office the emergency which caused the delay.
