Carlmont High School
Tardy Policy
Being Tardy
Not arriving to class on time can negatively impact a student’s academic progress. Thus, Carlmont has put a tardy policy in place to support students in getting to class on time, and in developing accountability.
Tardy Policy
If a teacher deems a student has demonstrated a habit of being tardy to class (3 tardies), the teacher will address the issue with the student and with the parents/guardian (phone call/email exchange/meeting).
Detention can be assigned as a consequence on the fourth tardy and each tardy afterwards.
When the student has completed the detention, both the teacher and the AVP will be notified.
Should the student continue to be tardy, the AVP will be contacted via the referral process.
Tardies are counted by semester. At the end of each semester, all tardies are cleared and the student begins the new semester with a fresh start.
