Tardy Policy

Since a full class period is necessary for academic achievement,
it is necessary for students to arrive to school and class on time.
ALL tardies to school or to class will be considered unexcused.
Students who arrive late due to a doctor's appointment are the only
excuses that will be accepted. Listed below are the consequences for tardies.

4 tardies = 1 day in-school suspension
6 tardies = Saturday detention
9 tardies = 1 day suspension

*The consequences start over each nine week period.

Playground Rules

*Students must stay out on the playground and may not enter the
building until the bell rings.
*Football or basketball will not be played.
*Rough-housing, wrestling, or playing chase is not allowed.
*Once students enter the playground, they may not go back toward the cafeteria.
