Remember you must be in the room when class starts or you are tardy. We follow procedures outlined
in the handbook, which means all tardies will be counted and added to detention time. This means,
your entire body must be in the room by the end of the bell. Please refer to the School Handbook as it
outlines district policies that will be maintained in this classroom during all classes.
