Tardy Policy and Reward System
In this class, I count and mark tardies. According the the discipline code handbook, you are allowed 5 tardies per quarter and on the 6th, you are issued a detention. I will adhere to this policy. You are tardy if you are not IN THE ROOM when the bell rings.
I do NOT give passes out of the room during our instruction time unless you need to see the nurse (upon my evaluation of need) or if I give you permission to go to the library. If you need to use the restroom, you may use your store of tardies (5) to do so, however; once they are gone, you may not leave the room. **If you have a medical condition that requires you to use the restroom on a frequent basis, medical documentation from your doctor must be given to the school nurse and will be placed in your student file.
If you do not use your tardies, you will be rewarded!! The Positive Consequences are as follows:
No tardies, no passes, no late work = Drop the lowest test AND homework grade for that current quarter, 20 extra credit points to the grade of your choosing, and a FREE homework pass.
No tardies = 20 extra credit points to the grade of your choice (literature or language arts)
No passes = 10 extra credit points to the grade of your choice
No late work = FREE homework pass
