Hill Tardy Policy for 2009-10 School Year
1st unexcused tardy = Lunch Detention
2nd unexcused tardy = Lunch Detention
Excessive (3-5) unexcused tardies in a grading period = Lunch Detention + a referral to student advisor
Chronic (5 or more) unexcused tardies in a grading period = A list will be generated every week and consequences will be determined by student advisor and administration
Classroom Procedure
- Tardy students sign in on the teacher’s tardy sheet. Continue to enforce the blue box if this works for you. If you will not be using the blue box have the student sit down after signing in. For consistency throughout the school have the tardy sign-in sheet near the entrance of your room on a table or clipboard.
- At any point during the period the teacher gives a blue detention slip to the student to take with him/her to lunch detention. If it is after lunch, detention is the next day.
- All teachers post this tardy policy and enforce it.
Lunch Detention Procedure
- Student receives blue detention slip from teacher and takes it to detention. If the slip gets lost, he/she still has the responsibility to serve.
- If a student eats first, student goes to the detention room (back of the lunchroom), writes first and last name on sign-in sheet, and sits down quietly.
- Student waits to be dismissed to go to lunch line by lunchroom supervisor. Student eats in back room. If a lunch is brought from home, they may begin to eat.
- When going to recess, the student will stand in the blue box the entire time.
- If a student goes outside first, he/she will stand in the blue box the entire recess time. When going to eat, the same procedures will follow as above.
- Lunchroom supervisors will keep track of who is in lunch detention. This list will be posted each day on the bulletin board by the mailboxes. It is the classroom teacher’s responsibility to keep track of who served and who did not, and to follow up accordingly. Students who do not serve are given a referral to the student advisor.
