Punctuality to school is vital for students’ first period success and school safety. To this end, we encourage students to arrive on time to school each day. However, we do recognize that under certain circumstances students will be tardy to school. In this event, tardies will be excused for medical reasons or extreme extenuating circumstances. Parents must physically enter the building to provide this evidence. Under all other circumstances tardies will be unexcused. If unexcused tardies occur prior to 9 a.m., students will not need to report to the attendance office, rather they should report directly to class
