Students, who arrive late for school, after 8:20 a.m., must go directly to the office to pick up an admittance slip.  It is important for students to arrive on time. Habitual tardiness disrupts the routine of the class and is cause for serious disciplinary action. All tardies and absences are recorded on the student’s permanent record card.  Excessive absences or tardies may result in non-promotion or discontinuation of enrollment. Local Catholic elementary and high schools include tardy/absence records as part of admission decision.
