2007-2008 TARDY PROCEDURE
Students being tardy to class continued, in 2005–2006, to be the most challenging disruption to Green Hope High School. As a result of the every increasing number of student tardies a committee was formed to review the policy and to make recommendations to the GHHS Administration. A committee comprised of students, parents, and teachers was assembled. They used the data available and their own personal experiences to come up with the recommendation that follows and will be in place for the 2007–2008 school year.
Tardy Procedure
2007– 2008
Tardy – A student is tardy to class if they enter the classroom after the tardy bell has sounded.
1st Late = teacher warning
2nd Late = teacher warning and parent contact
3rd Late = report to Administration or allow teacher to assign an Administrative ASD. The teacher must give 24 hour notice. When assigning an ASD the teacher must make a phone call to the parents. The documents must then be delivered to 2106 prior to the days end.
4th Late = referral to Administration
Seniors will receive 1 absence for every 4 tardys – these absences count ONLY toward exam exemption. Teachers must record the tardy in NCWise – DO NOT record an absence. NCWise will be used to verify records.
Seniors with no tardys can earn back 1 absence toward exam exemptions
All other students with no tardys are eligible for the PTSA sponsored Tardy free candy bar celebration once each semester.
• Note: Teachers must make sure all information is correct in NCWise.
Administrative Consequences include:
- After School Detention
- Juniors/Seniors lose off campus lunch pass
- Juniors/Seniors lose parking pass
No show for after school detention = Out of School Suspension - OSS
