TARDY POLICY
Students being tardy to class or school is the most challenging disruption to instruction.

** // A student is tardy to class if that student is not in his/her seat at the sound of the tardy bell. This allows for consistency. After the tardy bell rings, instruction begins. // **


 * __ The NVHS Tardy Policy: __ **

Ø Students are expected to be in the classroom and seated at the sound of the warning bell. This will allow students time to prepare for the start of instruction which begins at the sound of the tardy bell.

Ø Students who are tardy to school or class must report to the Media Center to receive a tardy admittance slip. Students who more than 15 minutes late to class due to an undocumented tardy/absence must report to OLC for the remainder of the class period.

Ø Students must not remain in a class at the conclusion of a class period in order to receive additional assistance which will result in making the student tardy for the next class.

** 1st Tardy: ** Warning issued and student’s name recorded in the Tardy Ledger.
 * 2nd Tardy: ** Warning issued and student’s name recorded in the Tardy Ledger.
 * 3rd ** ** Tardy: ** Student is placed in OLC for (1) Day.

** 4th Tardy: ** Student is suspended overnight and requires a parent conference for the student to return to school

//*Students who are tardy to 3rd period must report directly to OLC *//


 * // 2010-2011 Update: // ** Additional Tardiness (5th Tardy +): Student is suspended for (1) Day each time the student is tardy. The School Administration reserves the option to lengthen the suspension.

Ø Each time the student is tardy, the grade-level administrator will make a report to the School Social Worker to begin a truancy investigation based on attendance policies.

Ø Students who drive to school and are tardy to school or class more than three times per semester will lose their driving privileges until the student and his/her parent/guardian have met with the grade-level administrator and teacher. A student who has accumulated a sixth tardy will lose his/her driving privileges for the remainder of the semester.

A student’s tardy record will start over at the beginning of each semester
