Booker T. Washington High School Tardy Policy

Tardy to School

Students who arrive on campus after the 8:30 a.m. bell are considered tardy to school. 

Students who accrue three (3) or more unexcused tardies to school in a nine-week period will receive a minor disciplinary referral.  Each additional unexcused tardy to school will incur an additional disciplinary referral.  Consequences for each tardy are as follow:

• Unexcused tardy #4 – After school detention.

• Unexcused tardy #5 – After school detention.

• Unexcused tardy #6 – Saturday work detail.

• Unexcused tardy #7+ – One full day of In-School Solutions (ISS).

Tardy to Classes throughout the School Day

Students are expected to arrive at each class before the tardy bell rings.  Teachers will mark a student tardy in FOCUS.  A student who arrives tardy to class must present a district pass or check-in ticket to gain entry and will be marked tardy excused, “TE” or tardy unexcused, “TU”, in FOCUS.  A teacher may write a minor disciplinary referral when a student has arrived at class late without a pass and parental contact has been made.
