= = =Tardy Procedures =

First Period
Students arriving after the first bell need to check in at the front office. The student will check in through Raptor and be issued a pass from the office. Please ask the student to return to the front office if they do not have a pass. You will need to establish a place in your room that students will use to drop off the pass. The student will need to sign your Tardy Log prior to joining the class for participation. The tardy log should be kept organized and in your possession throughout the year. You may be asked to present this log as part of your PDAS appraisal.

The **Teacher** will:
 * Always take attendance within the first 5 minutes of class
 * Manage the student sign in/sign out log effectively
 * Review student sign in/sign out log often and contact parents when necessary
 * Issue Consequences
 * 3 tardies = teacher detention with parent contact (document contact)
 * 4 tardies = additional detention with parent contact (document contact)
 * 5 tardies = office referral and parent contact (document contact)
 * Each tardy after 5 should be an office referral
 * Do not stop class to issue a consequence. This should be done once students are engaged in work and you have a free moment, after class or during your conference to be issued the following day
 * Tardies should be reset each 6 weeks.

The **Attendance Clerk** will:
 * Begin a process of verifying attendance no later than 15 minutes after the tardy bell
