Please ensure your child is in school on time to begin work at 7:30 a.m. daily. Any student not in the first period classroom by 7:30 is considered late to school, whether or not the student arrived at school before 7:30. Repeated tardiness is disruptive to all concerned. Consequences for students grades 3-12 who are repeatedly late to school are as follows
 

• 3^rd tardy in a quarter to school or 3^rd tardy to class in a quarter with any given teacher, lunch detention is assigned, with administrator or teacher assigning the detention responsible for supervising (looking in on) the student

• 4^th tardy to school or class in a quarter, one hour of Saturday School assigned. Parents contacted by administrator or teacher assigning the consequence
  

• 5^th tardy or more to school or class in a quarter, an additional hour of Saturday school is assigned for each additional tardy (e.g.: a total of three hours for the 6^th tardy). Parents contacted. If students do not show up for an assigned Saturday School the time to be served will be doubled. With a valid parent excuse presented in writing at least one day in advance of the assigned Saturday School session, students may be permitted to postpone only one assigned Saturday School per school year. The student may be assigned in-school or out-of-school suspension instead of Saturday School, according to the severity and specific circumstances of the case. Parents are responsible for on-time drop-off and pickup of their students for assigned Saturday School.

Consequences for students in grades N-2 who arrive late to school are as follows: 4^th tardy in a quarter, parents are contacted. 5^th tardy in a quarter, the student will not be accepted into class for the day, and the absence counts toward the total of 20 absences allowed in the school year.
