In effort to teach the importance of being on time, and to honor the teaching environment in every classroom at West High, any tardy may be subject to disciplinary action. Tardy slips will be given to any student found in the hall after the bell rings by administration/security or may be given by a teacher to a student who comes to class late. Being given a tardy slip equals a lunch detention which must be served within 24-hours (see section on detention for more details). Excessive accumulation of tardies may result in further disciplinary action. 

Failure to serve lunch detention within 24-hours will be subject to progressive discipline.  

Anyone arriving at school after 7:30 AM must report to the front office to be checked in and issued a tardy/detention slip. 

To excuse your student’s late arrival please call 742-2502 before 10:00 AM. Any calls made after 10:00 will still be considered unexcused and subject to the appropriate consequences. Chronic, excessive tardies, excused or unexcused, may result in disciplinary action such as, parent conferences, in-school suspension, etc.

Detention is offered every day in room 3

Monday 11:05-11:30

Tuesday- Friday 10:35-11:00
