Alternative Tardy Policy

Essential Requirements:


  1. Each teacher does their X-2 attendance within the first 20 minutes of class and possibly later to track changes to attendance for the period. If this isn't possible, teacher does period X-2 as soon as possible, preferably between classes on a colleague's computer.

  2. Tardies for each student are diligently noted in X-2.

  3. Absences and tardies are also done in a notebook. Teacher ensure that hard copy attendance books and X-2 are in synch. Teachers maintain a tardy log of chronically tardy students for documentation purposes.
  4. THe SIMS operator creates a report on Thursday after school of the previous 5 day period attendance/tardies. Students who have 6 or more tardies during this 5 day period are assigned a 2 day OSS suspension for the following week. Students each week have 20 opportunities to get to class on time. If they are late 6 times, they get assigned the OSS. One day can be forgiven if parent arrives to school for a conference with an administrator.
  5. Every 5 day period begins a new cycle.
