In the situation whereby a staff member detains a student, it is the student s responsibility to get a pass from the teacher. The office will handle excused tardies for medical or late bus purposes. First unexcused tardy. Warning from classroom teacher. Second unexcused tardy.
Teacher reminds student that first and second tardies equal one unexcused absence.
The office will inform the student and the home of the tardiness problem. A student must be in attendance the day of an athletic event in order to have the right to participate. All parental excuses will be counted against the number. A student may go to town for parents during noon hour or study hall, IF the student has a pass written by the attendance officer by the end of the first hour of the day. Parents can write passes only for the day s date, and can write only one pass per student per week.
