Meigs Tardy Policy

While we know that the occasional late arrival may be unavoidable, tardiness to school means that your child is losing valuable instructional time. State law requires that students receive seven hours of instructional time each day. Students are to be in the classrooms when the second bell rings at 7:45.

This also applies to tardies to class during the day.

The first 3 tardies each 6 weeks are free! No consequence!

4^th tardy -- Letter home to parents

5^th tardy – After School Detention (3:00 – 5:00)

6^th tardy – After School Detention and a

parent conference

7^th tardy – One day OSS and a re-entry

conference

THERE ARE NO “EXCUSED TARDIES.”

Tardy Tally starts over every six weeks. On days when the weather is inclement, the principal may extend the tardy bell until 8:00 at his discretion.
