69. TARDY POLICY

70. Tardy to school Expectations and Beliefs: Scholars will arrive to school on time (before 8:40). Scholars will be on time to every class by effectively using the six minute travel time to move from one class to the next. Scholars are expected to plan their time effectively so that they may arrive to school and classes in a timely manner.

71. 8:45am Scholars CANNOT go to their locker after 8:45am and must report directly to first period. Any scholar who is at a locker after 8:45am will have their locker privileges revoked.

72. 8:40-9:10am Scholars will be given an “unexcused” pass and must present the pass to their first period teacher. If a scholar makes it to their first period class before 8:45, there will be no consequence applied by the teacher. If a scholar arrives to first period after the 8:45 bell rings, the teacher will apply the same consequences.

73. 9:10-9:30am Scholars will not be permitted to enter the building without a written excuse from a parent, doctor, or an official court document. Scholars are still not allowed to use their lockers even with an excuse. A member of the attendance team will be available at the front desk to take notes.

74. Tardy to Class Any scholar arriving to class late, without a pass from a staff member, will be considered tardy. Teachers will document when a scholar is late to class. The accumulation of tardies will have consequences. Scholars are only permitted to go to their lockers before 8:45, during STEP and after 3:15.

75. Tardy to Class Scholars have six minutes to transition from one class to the next. This time must be used for moving from one class to the next. Teachers are not to give a scholar permission to leave the classroom during the first and last 15 minutes of any class (unless it is an emergency). Random hall sweeps will be conducted at the discretion of the administrative team. Being caught in a hall sweep is a behavioral infraction.

76. Consequences Tardy 1Warning by the teacher and documented in STARS. Tardy 2Warning by the teacher, contact parent, and documented in STARS. Tardy 310-minute detention before or after school and during STEP assigned by the teacher, contact parent, and documented in STARS

77. Consequences Tardy 430-minute detention before or after school and during STEP assigned by the teacher, contact parent, and documented in STARS. Tardy 5Teacher writes an attendance referral to the attendance counselor. Attendance counselor will contact the parent and set up a meeting to complete an attendance intervention form. Tardy 6+Teacher writes a referral and submits to the scholar’s Assistant Principal.

78. Electronic Device Policy Electronic devices may be used before and after school and during STEP. All electronic devices (phones, iPods, headphones, etc.) must be out of sight and turned off during class and transition time.

79. Electronic Device Policy Scholars who violate these expectations must give the electronic device to the teacher/administrator or staff member upon request.

80. Electronic Device Policy The school is not responsible for lost or stolen electronic devices.

81. Electronic Device Policy If a scholar complies and gives the electronic device to the teacher upon request the consequences are as follows: The first time, the teacher will return the electronic device at the end of the class period to the scholar, and may choose to contact the parent to report that the scholar had an electronic device out in class.

82. Electronic Device Policy On the second incident, the teacher will turn the electronic device to the Dean of that scholar and must contact the parent to report that the scholar had an electronic device out in class for the second time. The Dean will return the device back to the scholar at the end of the day. On the Third incident, the teacher will turn over the electronic device to the Dean of that scholar, write a referral and call the parent. The Dean will contact the scholar’s parent to make arrangements for the parent to pick up the device from school. The parent must come in person to pick up the electronic device.

83. Electronic Device Policy If a scholar refuses to give the electronic device to the teacher then consequences for “non- compliance to a directive” (Chapter 25) are as follows: The teacher will contact a Dean of Students who will confiscate the electronic device from the scholar. The teacher will follow up with a written referral citing the scholar’s refusal to comply (Tier 3.27).

84. Electronic Device Policy On the first offense for non-compliance, the scholars will be assigned one day of In School Suspension and a parent must retrieve the electronic device from the Dean. On the second offense for non-compliance, the scholar will be assigned one day of Out of School Suspension and a parent must retrieve the electronic device from the Dean On the third offense for non-compliance, the scholar will be assigned three days of Out of School Suspension and a parent must retrieve the electronic device from the Dean.
