Tardiness:  The school believes that children learn responsibility by being at school on time.  Tardiness is defined as entering a classroom after 8:00 a.m.  A classroom tardy may be excused or unexcused.  Excused tardies are those created by doctor or dentist appointments, foul weather, wrecks, automobile failures, or other unavoidable delays caused by emergencies.  A child arriving after 8:00 a.m. must sign in at the school office before going to class.  A child desiring to receive an excused tardy should have a note to the administration from the parent explaining the reason for the tardy.  A note from a parent does not guarantee a child will be given an excused tardy.  A child who is consistently tardy and who has the same excuse/reason repeatedly may not necessarily continue to be excused.  A child may receive three unexcused tardies per nine week term without consequences.  Upon receiving a fourth, the student’s parents will be contacted for a conference with the headmaster, and the child’s citizenship grade for that nine weeks will be affected. (as stated in the LCS Handbook p.9) Due to the beginning of construction we have been lenient with tardies the 1st nine weeks.  However, starting now, the tardy policy will be strictly enforced.
