First Period Class begins promptly at 8:10 am
The school day begins at 8:00 am. Any student arriving after 8:00 is considered late and must report to the office for a late slip. Teachers will not admit students to their homerooms without a pass. Tardiness is entered on a student’s permanent record. It is the responsibility of the student to check with the homeroom teacher to receive the necessary communication or work missed due to lateness. Teachers are not obligated to give a student missed work due to lateness. Students who are late miss quality class instruction and disturb the learning environment of the class. Chronic lateness may disqualify students from financial assistance.
