Punctuality is key to academic success. As such, students are expected to be on time to school, and Intermediate and Secondary School students are expected to be on time to each and every class. The school day begins promptly at 8:15 a.m. for all students. For the safety of our students and staff, all entry doors will be locked after this time, and all late arrivals must sign in at the main office.
Students who arrive late to school, may sign themselves in at the main office. This is required as all doors will be locked and no admittance will be given unless notified by the office of late arrivals. A parent note is required upon signing in or the parent must sign the student in. If the student does not have a note from their parent, a phone call will be made to the parent with the student present. The student will be given a tardy slip which must be given to their Homeroom teacher unless arriving later in the day, in which case the tardy slip will be given to the teacher of the class period the student arrives during. Tardies are accumulative by semester and are taken for each class period. Four (4) tardies is equivalent to one (1) absence. Two (2) tardies to a class will result in lunch detention, with the exception of Homeroom, in which case four (4) tardies will result in lunch detention. Excessive detentions for tardies can result in additional penalties, including suspension.
