• No shirts/sweatshirts/sweaters may be worn over the standardized polo shirt. Any jacket, sweater, etc., must be of the kind that can be unzipped or unbuttoned all the way so as to not obscure the polo shirt and make it apparent that the polo shirt is tucked in and the student is wearing an ID and belt.

Tardy Policy
Students are expected to arrive on time to class on time every class period. In order to arrive on time to each class throughout the day, students are encouraged to proceed directly to class by taking the shortest route.
Multiple efforts are made to assist students with getting to class on time: 1)Maps of the campus and hallway numbers are posted at each intersection throughout the campus; 2) During hall change, teachers and administrators actively monitor students and encourage them to move along to class while pointing students in the correct direction to classes. 3) At the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters, students are provided a 1 to 2 week grace period inorder to learn the quickest routes to their classes; 4) Students are reminded about the importance of getting to class on time during the morning announcements, during lunches, and during class time.

** Students who are persistently tardy to school (1st period) run the risk of tardies adding up to count as unexcused absences (3 tardies equal 1 unexcused absence).

Consequences for Tardiness:
1) Students are assigned lunch detention for every tardy.
2) Failure to report to Lunch Detention may result in additional assigned days of Lunch Detention and/or SAC.
3) Student administrators will make every effort to contact parents about student tardiness through phone calls home and/or letters sent home.
4)Students begin to receive SAC once they reach a total of 10 tardy violations. At which time, students receive SAC for each tardy thereafter.
5) Persistent tardiness may result in loss of extra-curricular privileges (Sports, Socials, Student Activities, etc.)
