TARDY POLICY: Students are to report to each of their classes on time. If you arrive to school after the final tardy bell (7:58 a.m.) you must report to the office to receive a tardy pass before going to class. Note: Students are considered truant when they have any combination of 3 unexcused absences or tardies over 30 minutes (EC 48260).
Tardy Consequences: (per grading period)
1) First Tardy – Warning
2) Second Tardy – Second warning
3) Third Tardy – Teacher contact to parents
4) Fourth Tardy – Referral to Assistant Principal, lunch detention, and citizenship grade reduction
Students will receive a referral and lunch detention for every tardy after the 4th.
Parents will be notified of cumulative tardies of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30, which will result in a MANDATORY Friday detention.
Note: Persistent tardies will result in further disciplinary action
Our attendance policy (in accordance with Ed. Code 48205) stipulates that tardies can only be excused for limited reasons. Therefore, an unexcused tardy is the same as an unexcused absence. Please review our attendance policy on pages 10-12, in the CMS handbook, for the definition of an excused absence.
