1. Students who come to school late MUST check in at the office to receive a pass to class. Teachers will not allow students into their classroom first hour without a pass.
2. For 2nd - 6th hours, students will be allowed to enter their class without going to the office. Teachers will mark the tardies and then report tardies to Mike Fray, Dean of Students.
3. Teachers will be reporting tardies when students accumulate them on the 4's. Consequences can include detentions, loss of parking, in school suspensions or out of school suspensions. Of course, suspension will occur after other consequences have not worked.
4. On weekly occasions, administrators will be conducting random Hall Sweeps. When these sweeps occur, teachers will close the door and students who are in the hallway will be taken to the office and given a detention.
The reason for re-looking at our tardy policies in midyear is to recognize that not all of them were working for the best of our students and teachers. The goal of these policies is to reduce the number of tardies students are receiving, make them responsible for their actions and for being to class on time and most importantly so that our teachers can utilize the most of their time for educational purposes.
Education is the key to our students achievement at Lakeland and we continue to look at our policies with that in mind.
