LHS Tardy Policy

Just a reminder of our District and LHS Tardy Policy:

A tardy will be defined as not being in the classroom when the bell rings to signify the end of a transition period. A student who is less than 5 minutes late to class, including 1st period, should report to class. A student who arrives more than 5 minutes late will be considered as skipping and should be sent to the office. A student is not considered tardy if they have a signed note from a teacher or adminisrative pass. When a student has acquired a 4th tardy during a grading period, a referral should be sent to the office showing the dates on which the student was tardy and the interventions taken by the teacher. Students shall receive disciplinary action from the adminstration when they accumulate their 4th tardy during a 9 week grading period. The disciplinary action will be as follows:

Infraction Action Taken:

Tardy 1 - Warning from teacher of record

Tardy 1 - Parental contact with teacher documentation

Tardy 3 & 4 - Refer to adminstration for warning & parental contact

Tardy 5 - After School Detention

Tardy 6 - Saturday Detention

Tardy 7 & 8 - Out of school suspension (Parent conference required)
