Changes to the tardy policy have been made for the 2025-26 school year.
According to the 2025-26 student handbook, after a student obtains five tardies for all classes combined within six weeks, the unit office will contact the student’s home and will assign school board approved consequences.
The handbook also states, “A student’s tardies are cumulative for each six-week progress report in terms of disciplinary consequences of detention or In-School Intervention.”
According to the 2024-25 handbook, the tardy system was previously based on each class, also being cumulative for each six-week progress report. In previous years, after a student got their fourth tardy in a single class, they would receive a one-hour detention, with the punishments varying based on how many tardies they received.
