If you arrive after the tardy bell you will need to escort your child into school to receive a tardy pass. They will be considered tardy for that day. • Excessive tardies, early-sign outs, and/or absences, parents will be contacted to make an appointment with an administrator. • Please have your child be here on time. It is very important they do not miss out on valuable instruction.

  9. Bullying Behavior • Unfair and one-sided. It happens when someone keeps hurting, frightening, threatening, or leaving someone out on purpose. • unfair means there is an imbalance of power (social, physical…). One-sided means that only one person is being mean – not an argument or fight. It keeps on happening. Bullying is not a one-time occurrence. It’s an established pattern of behavior.
