Tardy Policy
TARDY vs. ABSENT
A student will be marked TARDY if . . .
they are not physically across the threshold of the classroom door when the bell stops ringing/Bronco stops neighing.
Students are considered TARDY if entering the classroom . . .
within the first 0-9 minutes of class without an excused pass.
Student are considered ABSENT if entering the classroom . . .
10 or more minutes late to class.
The student will be marked absent due to the 90% attendance rule. (Classes are approximately 50 minutes long, and students can only miss 9 minutes of class to be in compliance with the 90% attendance rule.) On the 10th minute and each thereafter, the student is no longer tardy, but is now considered absent.
PROCEDURES FOR A 1st PERIOD TARDY
Students that arrive tardy to school during 1st period from 7:30 – 7:39 am will receive their tardy pass in the front office area (main entrance of Boyd).
Students that arrive to school during 1st period after 7:39 am will receive a pass from the Attendance Clerk in the front office area (main entrance of Boyd) so they can move on to 1st period.
PROCEDURES FOR A 2nd – 7th PERIOD TARDY
The student’s teacher will mark him/her Tardy (0-9 minutes) or Absent (10+ minutes) as they enter the classroom via Ecampus. Both the parents and student will receive an automated email the day of the tardy stating the Period and Date of tardy with a description of the discipline (if any is needed).
DISCIPLINE ISSUED FOR TARDIES
Students will receive 4 tardy warnings each semester before receiving a school consequence.
The 5th tardy will result in a Friday Night Live Detention (2:45 – 6:45 pm) or a Saturday School Detention (8:00 am – 12:00 pm) to be served in Room H-100.
Students will receive warnings again on tardy number 6 through 9 each semester.
The 10th tardy will result in another Friday Night Live Detention (2:45 – 6:45 pm) or a Saturday School Detention (8:00 am – 12:00 pm) to be served in Room H-100.
