• Tardy Policy

     

    TARDIES – The time between periods are often a problem for middle school students who prefer to socialize rather than move on to their next class. Students are given four minutes between periods and they are expected to get to classes on time. We suggest to students who need to use the rest rooms to go to their next class first and get a pass from that teacher so that they do not get marked tardy.

    Tardies are tracked each quarter, and multiple tardies will be cause for intervention and consequences. Students with multiple tardies will be referred to the grade-level Response-to-Intervention (RtI) team for data analysis and intervention. Interventions may include parent conferences and/or loss of standard passing periods. Excessive tardies may also prompt an attendance contract.
