Tardy Policy Students are expected to be in their assigned classrooms when the tardy bell rings. Each student is allowed six tardies per semester, and each of those six tardies is a warning. The purpose of the warnings is to help students deal with mishaps in the hall, bad weather, heavy traffic, etc. When a student exceeds six tardies, the stu-dent will begin receiving consequences from their Assistant Principal. Tar-dies will start over after each semes-ter. Students seen intentionally being tardy may have all tardy privileges revoked and consequences elevated. Students who drive to school may have additional consequences including suspension of parking and/or loss of parking privileges.

DROP-OFF POLICY: There will be NO deliveries of any kind at this time to students. This includes, lunch deliveries, homework, project, uniforms, instruments, etc.

Breathe for a Better Me

Video: Mindfulness is the ability to be fully present in the moment.

This includes awareness of your body, feelings, and thoughts. One method of

practicing mindfulness is through meditation. Practicing mindfulness through

meditation will decrease stress levels that not only result in short term health

issues such as headaches but also long term health issues like cardiovascular

disease and mental health problems.

Challenge: Take 2 minutes out of your day to practice mindfulness.
