TARDIES AND ATTENDANCE
The tardy policy at Houston Gateway Academy has been established to ensure a minimum of interruptions to the educational process in each classroom. Instruction at Houston Gateway Academy begins promptly at 7:45 a.m., and it is critical that all scholars be prepared to begin at that time.
After 7:55 a.m., student will be marked tardy. Once a student receives
three (3) tardies it will result in Saturday detention.
If scholars are absent, a note must be provided to the front office upon their return (notes may be handwritten, or from the doctor's office).
Late arrivals must have a tardy slip from the front office to enter the classroom.
High school:
- Student arriving to 1st period at 8:05 a.m. or later is considered absent, for that period.
- 10 absences or more per class (excused or unexcused) will result in credit loss.
- Students will not be allowed out of class the first fifteen (15) minutes after the tardy bell and the last fifteen (15) minutes before the end of the period. Anytime a student is out of class, permission must be granted.
- Students who lose credit during the Fall / Spring semester due to attendance must complete the credit recovery program during the summer for four (4) weeks in order to regain credit. Students do not regain credit will be required to re-take the course in order to earn credit the following academic year.
- After each bell rings the halls will be swept by administrators, hall monitors and paraprofessionals and Saturday detention will be assigned.
