• Tardy Policy

    Students who are later than 8:00 a.m. are considered tardy. Any student who enters the building after 9:00 AM will be required to provide a parent/guardian note. If students are unable to comply, administration and deans will contact parents to confirm reasons for being late. If parents were not aware of the student being late, the school will address the issue as skipping class. Robo calls will be sent to the parents/guardians informing them of the students’ tardiness or absence from school. 

    Purpose

    • To develop personal responsibility, accountability and positive behaviors to ensure college readiness and future employment. 
    • To recognize that learning and social growth occur within the classroom. Therefore, taking part in the entire class is fundamental to student success. 
    • To ensure that the policy is another means to teach students and not solely a punitive measure.
    • To ensure that all components of the policy function in accordance with the state truancy and compulsory attendance guidelines and CHS Vision of a Graduate.
