Central High Tardy Policy
Central has instituted a school-wide tardy policy for the 2008-09 school year. The policy is intended to make students accountable for arriving to all classes on time. The goal is to minimize classroom disruptions which occur when students enter late and to maximize student educational opportunities. The policy stipulates that even if parents call the school to explain why a student will be late to school, that student will still be counted tardy. The only exceptions to this rule are for students who
- ride a yellow school bus that arrives late to school, or
- bring proof such as a note from a doctor/dentist that they were late for a medically related reason.
The tardy policy has a built in cushion that allows students to be late four times to a given class before Saturday School and/or Suspension After School consequences are mandated. Therefore students who have legitimate reasons to be late to school will not be immediately affected. We appreciate the support of all parents who understand the importance of student attendance and punctuality as it relates to student achievement.
