Greetings,

Tardiness

Student tardy count restarts with this new grading period.  Students have 5 tardies before an administrative referral is written.  Please encourage your student to be on time to each class, every day. 

A student who arrives unexcused to class up to 10 minutes after the bell scheduled beginning time shall be recorded tardy (District Policy).  

A student who arrives unexcused to class over 10 minutes after the scheduled beginning time shall be recorded as late (District Policy). 

Students who arrive to class past 15 minutes will be marked late (District Policy) and receive a referral as skipping (Rickards policy).

After 5 tardy/late in a 9-week period, students may receive an administrative referral for excessive tardiness.  Students will receive 1-day OFI (Opportunity for Improvement) after the 5th tardy and 1-day OFI for each additional tardy/late.
