Excused Tardy. If a student arrives late to school due to excused absences or events outside their control, such as weather, transportation delays, health emergencies, power outages, or court orders, they will be excused if they follow the sign-in procedure. For students who don't take the school bus, their parent/guardian or carpool driver must sign them in as tardy after 7:55 a.m. Once signed in, students will receive a "late slip" for admittance to class. Students arriving after the start of first period and signed in by a parent/guardian will be given a tardy pass and must be in class within 5 minutes of the posted time to avoid being marked as skipping. Unexcused Tardy: Arriving late without a valid excuse, such as oversleeping, missing the bus, car problems, traffic, babysitting, athletic workouts, or socializing, is considered unexcused. Students arriving after the start of first period must follow the sign-in procedure and receive a tardy pass. Students must be in class within 5 minutes of the posted time to avoid being marked as skipping.) Habitual School Tardy If a student is unexcused tardy more than ten (10) times in a calendar month or twenty-five (25) times in a 90-calendar day period, we will refer them to the school counselor or school attendance clerk. We want to provide the necessary support to help students get to school on time. Refer to the Truancy section for more information regarding excessive tardies and absences. Class Tardy Students are given four minutes of class transition time, with warning bells, to get to each class during the school day. We expect all students to be seated in their assigned seats when the class bell rings. If a student is tardy, they must get a special pass from the designated staff to be allowed into the classroom. If a student has checked in late through the front office, they should have an admit slip to class from the front office. We understand that sometimes tardiness might be unavoidable, but we want to ensure that students make every effort to be on time. Repetitive tardiness may result in disciplinary consequences based on our Minor Offense cycle. Class Cuts/Skipping A "class cut" occurs when a student is absent from class for more than 5 minutes without permission from the teacher or authorization from the office. If a student needs to leave class for any reason, they should first report to class, obtain permission to be excused, and receive a pass from the teacher. If a student is too ill to report to the offic...
Excused Tardy. An employee’s tardiness may be considered to be excused if: • It is due to jury duty or a required court appearance (as established by a copy of the summons the employee received or another verifiable notice of required attendance from the court or other governmental authority); • It is due to attendance at a meeting with the Employer’s management that causes the employee to be late for a scheduled shift. The employee must, if requested, advise the shift supervisor of which manager can verify meeting attendance; • It is due to intermittent leave established under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA); • It is due to an authorized purpose under the PTO Policy. The employee must have accrued PTO at the time of the request and notify management that PTO is requested to be used for the tardy. (NOTE: PTO can only be used in a minimum increment of at least four (4) hours); OR • In the event of unusual circumstances, such as a weather-related or other state of emergency, a verifiable traffic accident involving the employee, or an unplanned CTA Blue Line or Orange Line delay within one hour of the employee's scheduled start time. Only the following will be accepted to verify an unplanned CTA Blue Line or Orange Line delay: a notice contemporaneously posted on the CTA ‘L’ (Train) System Alerts website or notification from the official CTA Train Tracker website on day of tardiness that specifies the reasons for the unplanned delay; or an email to the Employer from the City of Chicago/CTA on day of the tardiness specifying the reasons for the delay on the day in question.
