Unprepared & Tardy Policy
Dressing for class is a requirement!! If you are not appropriately dressed for class, you will be considered unprepared. At the beginning and end of each class you are given five minutes to change into and out of your uniform. At the end of five minutes, if you are not changed and ready to begin or leave class, you will be considered tardy. You will receive two “free” unprepared and tardy marks for every trimester (12 weeks). After your two "free" tardy's the school handbook rules will apply. If you do not have your uniform, documentation of the unprepared will be taken and you will lose 5 participation points and the following will apply after your two free
3rd parental contact will be made
