The school day is from 8:45am to 3:00pm. Attendance is the responsibility of parents and students. Regular attendance is a positive factor promoting habits of responsibility, organization, and focus.
Tardiness
School begins at 8:45am. A student is considered tardy if he/she is not in the first period class when school begins for the morning and for the afternoon. Exceptions are made when tardiness is due to the late arrival of a school bus.
Students should bring an excuse from home stating the reason for tardiness. Students tardy to school or class ten times in one year must report with their parents for a meeting with the principal. If tardiness continues, the school will require a plan of action and appropriate consequences.
Release During the School Day
No child will be released from school during the school day without a written note, call, or direct contact with the parent or guardian. When a student needs to be dismissed during the school day due to illness or an appointment, parents are to come to the school office to sign the day time release register. The student will be brought to the office.
