Tardy Policy
The beginning of the class is crucial for making connections to previous learning and setting the tone for the day. Being on time to class also demonstrates respect to your student’s teachers and peers. We will continue to positively reinforce this message, as well as reiterate expectations. When students accrue tardies, the following interventions will occur:
After 5 tardies: Your student’s teacher will call home.
After 10 tardies: Your student’s counselor will call home and have a conversation with your student.
After 15 tardies: Your student’s administrator will call home and have a conversation with your student and discuss detention dates.

This insurance fee was added for every eligible student K-12 on August 1st. Please note that any student with an unpaid balance for iPad insurance from the previous year will not be eligible to join the pool this year until they pay off the previous year’s balance.
2023-2024 LTP Student iPad Insurance: $25
The iPad insurance fee will be reduced or waived for students eligible for a free or reduced price lunch under the federal poverty income guidelines and homeless students as defined by McKinney-Vento.

Student Schedule Repairs: Student schedules are visible in Infinite Campus. Counselors are still working on balancing classes and making sure students have accurate schedules. Schedule changes are only allowed for incorrect placement levels and/or the need to acquire a course necessary to meet graduation requirements. The link for change requests will be open Monday, August 14 through Friday, August 18. Use this link to make a request. If your request can be accommodated, allow 24-48 hours to see the change in Infinite Campus. Your counselor will email you and arrange a meeting if the schedule repair requires more information.
