If a student is 12 minutes late to second period, how would you mark their attendance. 

What is ABSENT

Students may be considered tardy to class if they are not in their classroom when the tardy bell rings, unless they have a pass from the teacher who detained them. Specific tardy guidelines once students are in the classroom doorway are at the discretion of the classroom teacher. Students will serve a 15 minute detention for the classroom teacher assigning the tardy. If students do not comply, teachers will notify the Administration. Students have a sufficient amount of time between all class changes to make it to their next class on time. If a student arrives at class after 10 minutes, (15 minutes for the 1st period) they will be counted absent then Administration will count this as a truancy and will investigate the situation. Accurate Attendance at the beginning of class is very important and should be a daily routine in all classes.
