School Policies

Dress code, attendance, tardiness, and Flex Time — the expectations that keep our campus focused.

Dress Code

Students are expected to wear appropriate attire during the school day and at all school-sponsored activities. Any student found wearing inappropriate attire may be asked to call home or change into appropriate clothing provided by the school.

  • Profane or disrespectful writing on clothing or jewelry is not acceptable
  • Pictures and/or words on any garment must be in good taste — nothing obscene, vulgar, or promoting anything illegal
  • The body shall be adequately covered: navels and boys’ boxers should not be visible; short shorts, bathing suits, bare chests, halter tops, tube tops, muscle shirts, and mesh or sheer garments are not adequate coverage

Attendance

All absences must be reported to the front office by a parent or guardian. In order to receive credit for a course, a student must attend class each day and complete all required work at a level acceptable to the teacher. If a student is absent or misses any time on any day of the week, they are required to attend Friday school; failure to attend mandatory Friday school will result in a parent conference. Attendance is monitored by teachers and administration for accountability. If a student misses 10 consecutive days of school, they will be automatically withdrawn and must re-enroll. If an absence occurs, the parent/guardian must contact the school daily and explain the reason.

Tardiness

Any student arriving to class after 8 a.m. is considered late. Three tardies will result in disciplinary action — please get your students to school on time to maximize their opportunity for success.

Flex Time

Flex time may be completed Monday–Thursday 4th period and Friday 1st–4th periods. Students must complete all flex time within the same week of the absence to stay current with class work; if not completed that week, the student is still responsible for flexing the time immediately upon returning. An absence that is not made up is considered a permanent absence.
