In Grammar School, a student is considered tardy when he or she arrives between 8:14 and 10:00am. Students who arrive between 8:00 and 8:14am have the opportunity to prepare for the day which is an important factor for success in the classroom. Students are dependent on parents to arrive to school on time. Parents are asked to be punctual. Tardy Grammar School students must be accompanied to the main office by a parent to obtain a late arrival slip. Once the student has received a late arrival slip, the parent must accompany the student to the classroom.
A Grammar School student who misses instruction due to tardiness will be responsible for the work missed and may miss recess that day to complete the work.
If a student arrives to the classroom after 10:00am, the student is counted absent.
When a Grammar School student has been tardy three times during a quarter, a call is made from the headmaster to the parents of the student to inform them of the situation. Parents are expected to remedy the situation.
