West Wing Tardy Policy

The West Wing Tardy Policy has been developed to emphasize the importance of each student being in the classroom for the entire period, as well as arriving on time to school every day.  Learning the responsibility of getting to class on time is an integral part of West Wing’s standard of excellence, which prepares students for success.

In our school, instructional time is viewed as a precious resource. Consequently we view chronic tardiness as a serious problem, and we will impose progressive consequences in an effort to alleviate the problem.

Problems with tardiness to school may require adjustments in the family's morning schedule.
 

The consequences for repeated tardiness to school are as follows:

PLEASE NOTE:  Medical and dental appointments are considered “excused” tardies only when a note is provided.  Please remember to request notes from the offices of dentists, doctors and others where possible if children are tardy due to appointments.  With few exceptions, most tardies are considered unexcused.

*Administration has the right to substitute an alternative disciplinary intervention for repeated offenders.
