Tardy Policy

Students are expected to arrive for math class on time.  A student is 
marked "on time" when she/he is actively engaged in working on the warm up 
when it is time for class to begin ("bell time").  It is the students 
responsibility to get to his/her seat on time.  A student is marked "tardy" 
when he/she:

     ** is out of seat at bell time
     ** arrives at seat but then leaves seat to visit locker/hall/etc.
     ** engages in working on some project other than the 
          warm up after bell time 
     ** continues to visit with neighbors at bell time

In the event that a tardy is recorded, that student may receive one of the 
following consequences:
          
          warning
          15 minute detention
          parent contact
          office referral
        
Every effort is made to help students discover the best way to avoid being 
tardy to class.  Students who are consulting with another teacher must 
remember to ask for a hall pass, or they will be marked tardy.  Students 
finding it impossible to get from one class to the next on time should see 
me.

My goal is to maximize our time available for learning.
