What is found on a tardy slip can come in all shapes and sizes.
Students use excuses every time they step into a class after the bell has rung.
And despite the fact that it's almost the end of the year, some still continue to show up for class late. First hour tardies are the most common. Assistant principal Bub McIver said that around 90 percent of tardies occur during first period. Students late at this time are responsible for going to the office. There they have to fill out a slip and visit with either an office secretary, the principal or assistant principal.
