It is the expectation of the school that instruction begin promptly after the bell rings. Because arriving late to class is disruptive to the instructional process, students are expected to be in class on time. Tardiness occurs when a student enters the classroom after the bell has rung. A teacher will record an unexcused absence (Late) for any student who arrives more than 10 minutes late to class. Students will not be allowed to make up work missed due to tardiness.
