ATTENDANCE/TARDY POLICY AND CHECK IN PROCEDURES

Attendance Policy | Tardy Policy & Check Ins | Check Outs | School Function Absences

The student will be considered "Tardy" if they arrive between 7:10 and 7:40 and should report to the Tardy Office.

If they arrive any time after 7:40, they will be considered a "Late check in" and should report to the appropriate grade level Student Management Office (SMO).

All students are expected to be in school and/or classes on time. This means in the classroom before the tardy bell rings. Students are considered tardy from the ringing of the 7:10 a.m. bell until 7:40 a.m. Please be aware that the state of Georgia does not excuse heavy traffic and/or poor weather conditions as a reason for being tardy to school (see Absence Policy, p. 14, for excused absences per state law).

PROCEDURE FOR CHECK-INS:

When tardy less than 30 minutes to school:

Students are to report to the tardy office (1.062).
Students will be given a tardy pass.

When tardy more than 30 minutes to school:

Report directly to the appropriate grade level office upon arrival on campus.
Bring a note signed by parent/guardian stating the reason for the late arrival. Include a date, reason for absence, parent signature and a phone number for verification. After five tardies to school, a parent or guardian will be required to check in their student or the student must bring in a doctor’s note at the time of check-in. If neither of the two requirements is met, the tardy will be considered unexcused and appropriate action will be taken.
Attendance personnel will classify the tardy and give student the appropriate permit to class.

UNEXCUSED TARDIES TO CLASS POLICY: If the student is not in the room on time, then (s)he must go to the tardy office (1.062 ). At this location, the student will obtain a pass and then be sent to class. The student will not be allowed into class without the pass. If a student fails to get a pass and/or fails to attend class, the student will be considered AWOL (absent without leave/permission).

UNEXCUSED TARDIES: All students are expected to be in class on time. This means in the classroom before the tardy bell rings, otherwise you are tardy.
