6 Lateness/Tardiness Tardiness is in two (2) categories- lateness to class and lateness to school. A student arriving late at school must report to the office for a late slip to enter class.

Time Between Classes There are FIVE MINUTES between classes, which is ample time to get to any location in the school. Students are to move as quickly as possible from one class to the next without running or making excessive noise. Students are not to loiter in the halls, outside, or in the lavatories between classes.
