Tardy Policy Update

Students who arrive to class late must sign in with Mrs. Rorey in the US office. (She will give the student a slip of paper with the time on in that the student will take to his/her next class). Students arriving more than 20 minutes late to class must have a parent call or email the US Office to confirm their late arrival. After the second tardy per class per semester, students will serve Community Restoration. After the third tardy per class per semester, students will serve a second Community Restoration and lose free periods and/or other privileges. Consequences will escalate with excessive tardiness.

Notes:

We will not be using QR Codes.
If you know you are going to be late to a class, go straight to Mrs. Rorey for a note with the time of check in on it.
When you enter your class late, give your teacher the note. Your teacher will know if you have had appropriate time to get to class from Mrs. Rorey’s desk.
If you know you will be checking out later in the day, and you are on Mrs. Rorey’s side of campus, you may want to have her write you a note at that time so you don’t need to go back later
You will have 1 “free tardy” to a class. So on the second tardy, you will serve Community Restoration

Dress Code Update

Facial Hair is no longer a senior privilege. With approval from the Deans’ Office, facial hair must be neat and well groomed.
You will have 1 “free dress code infraction”, so when you receive your 2nd dress code infraction, you will serve Community Restoration.
Please review the Upper School Dress Code policy before Wednesday. At the bottom of the document is a slide show with examples. If you have any questions, please let Mrs. Farmer or Mr. Olson know BEFORE you wear questionable clothes. You will be expected to be in dress code on the first day of school
You and your parents will now be able to view your dress code infractions.
