Middle School students have 4 minutes of passing between each period. Students are allowed three tardy warnings per period, per year. When a student is tardy a fourth, fifth, or sixth time to a particular class, he or she will receive a minor infraction. When a student is tardy a seventh time to a particular class, he or she will receive a major infraction. If the tardy violations continue to occur beyond a seventh tardy in a particular class, a tardy plan will be written in collaboration with parents and administration. Blue tardy passes will be given to all middle school teachers to use exclusively for students held late in your class. If a student arrives without a blue pass and states they were held up by another teacher, please check with the other teacher.
