Tardy Policy

TARDY POLICY

Getting to school on time and into the classroom with all other students significantly contributes to academic and social success and allows students to be part of the group.  Teachers’ lesson plans even at the beginning of the day or session are carefully constructed to introduce new concepts or routines that are vital to student learning. Late arrivers interrupt precious instructional time and make it difficult for those arriving as well as those already seated to attend and stay focused at the task at hand.   Missing even a few minutes can cause children to fall behind or feel left out.   Most importantly, however, arriving on time impresses upon your child the importance of school and helps develop valuable habits and responsibilities that in the future will help them succeed both in school and the work place.

Below is a copy of the district attendance policy modified for Lincoln School students:

            Tardy (late to school)

                        After 5^th tardy               Formal warning

                        After 10^th tardy             1 After School Detention (15 minutes)

                        After 15^th tardy             2 After School Detentions (30 minutes total)

*For each subsequent tardy, an additional After School Detention of 15 minutes will be assigned
