DREHER HIGH SCHOOL 

STUDENT TARDY PROCEDURES 2024-2025

 Dreher High School believes each student should be entitled to the maximum instructional time each day. For students to acquire the knowledge and skills to become proficient, they need to be on time to each class, every day. Therefore, a tardy procedure has been implemented to support and reinforce this philosophy.

·         Student(s) will NOT be allowed to enter class if more than 10 minutes late after the tardy bell without a pass from attendance.

 ·         If a student is more than 10 minutes late (2^nd through 4^th blocks) after the tardy bell, the teacher will write a referral for cutting.

Administration will review daily and weekly tardy reports to contact parents and/or assign a consequence. Consequences per Semester are as follows:

• 3^rd Tardy- Parent Contact from Teacher

• 6^th Tardy- After School Detention and Parent Contact (Attendance Team/Family Engagement)

• 12^th Tardy- After School Detention and Tardy Contract

-Parent will attend a Contract Meeting with Administrator (MTSS/Attendance Team) in person

• 15^th Tardy- Referral – ISS 2 Days; Parent Contact from Administrator

• 20^th Tardy- Referral, OSS 1 Day; Parent Contact from Administrator; Pre-Hearing Board Meeting

• 30^th Tardy- Referral, OSS 2 Days and Hearing Board Referral (Student will remain in school pending Hearing)
