There Are No Excused Tardies due to traffic or weather problems. Our teachers are here on time to teach. When students arrive late - often with Starbucks or McDonald's in hand - it is disruptive not only to teaching and learning but to the entire school community. Please continue to make getting out of the house early enough a priority so students are on time to class.

Students lose credit for all assignments with "unexcused" absences. Also, vacations, oversleeping, car problems, inability to find a parking place, and other such excuses, are considered “unexcused”. Please refer to student handbook for a list of excused absences.
