  8. Tardies B.26 TARDIES –page 13 in Conrady Student-Parent Handbook Social responsibility is a part of our school’s mission. Being on time to class promotes efficiency and minimizes disruptions. Students who are up to 2 minutes late without a valid pass will be considered tardy (more than 2 minutes late will be considered truancy). Being late is defined as either not being in the classroom or in assigned seat when the tardy bell rings, depending on the established expectation of the classroom teacher. The following is the established Tardy Policy and applies per class, per quarter:  1st Tardy = Verbal Warning  2nd Tardy = Required Written Response  3rd Tardy = After-School Dean’s Detention  4th Tardy = 2-Hour Saturday Detention  5th Tardy = 3-Hour Saturday Detention  6th + Tardy = 3-Hour Saturday Detention and Suspension from Extra- Curricular Activities and privileges until student has not been tardy to any class for a period of 5 school days.
