LATE ARRIVAL TO SCHOOL (TARDY) - From Student Handbook
Arriving late to school frequently results in loss of instructional time and may have an effect on the academic achievement of the student. Additio nally\, students arriving late to class is disruptive for both the teacher and classmates.
The school opens at 7:45 AM. The goal should be for families to arrive at school by this time so that stud ents have ample time to go to their lockers and socialize a little before getting into their work. Also\, in the case of inclement weather and/or ex tremely cold weather\, we open the gym and the auditorium for students at 7:30 AM so they are safe and warm until 7:45 AM.
The first class of the day begins at 7:55 AM. Students are considered late to sc hool if they arrive to class after 7:55 AM regardless if the tardy was input into the Genesis Paren t Portal prior to 7:30 AM. When lateness becomes chronic\, it cons istently interrupts the educational and learning processes.
A student who arrives late to school should report to the attendance off ice for a pass. The attendance secretary will record the tardy and provide a pass for entry to class. Furthermore\, tardies are input into Genesis a nd are visible to families in the Parent Portal.
