TARDY AND ATTENDANCE POLICIES
Students who arrive at school after 7:45 and before 10:30 will be considered tardy. Students who arrive at 10:30 and after will be considered absent 1/2 day. Our school computing system will calculate the minutes late and the minutes checked out early. When the minutes add up to a half day or whole day it will be noted on your child’s report card. After 3 tardies, student can receive a detention. Additional tardies can can require a parent conference with administration. Students who have 14 unexcused absences will be eligible for retention for the year. Please send a note with every absence.
Handwritten or doctor’s notes will be considered excused absences.
SECURITY POLICY
School doors open at 7:15 a.m. daily for students. For security purposes, no one may enter the building prior to that time unless they are dropping a child off for childcare, or they have a scheduled appointment. Students may also not arrive prior to this time or they will be subject to disciplinary action. School personnel are not available to monitor students dropped off/arriving prior to 7:15 a.m.
Parent conferences with teachers or administrators are available by APPOINTMENT ONLY between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
