Tardy Policy

Educational time is valuable and students that arrive late to class unfairly cause the teacher and other students to lose some of this valuable educational time. As a result, we are committed to encouraging students to arrive to school on time and we have instituted the following tardy policy:

1. Students arriving late to class must sign into the office and obtain a tardy pass. Students will be counted tardy to school regardless of the reason.
2. Students must arrive to class no later than 15 minutes in order to earn credit for that class. When a student arrives to class late, he or she must attend the same class on Flex-Friday.  If all tardy time is not made-up, then the student will not receive credit for the class. (Warning: If a student has decided to not make-up the time for a given class, they must still attend the class in order to receive credit for their other classes). ALL students must be full-time students at ATHS [attending a minimum of 3 classes].  Any flexibility in schedule will be determined by administration. 
3. Important: If a student is tardy more than 15 minutes for any reason, then the entire class must be made-up in the same week on Flex-Friday in order to receive credit for the class.

It is the ultimate responsibility of the student to adhere to the policy stated above.

Signing Out Policy

Students that sign out early for the day will be required to make-up all accumulated time due to their departure. This policy and procedure is similar to the Tardy Policy and carries the same consequences.
