DJV @ Parkside Policy - A tardy student is defined as any student who is not inside the classroom when the tardy bell rings.

TARDIES:

Students are considered tardy if they are not in their classrooms by 9:15 a.m. (This includes students being carpooled.) 

Students who are dropped off in the carpool line at or after 9:15 am must have a parent come into the school to sign them in for the day. 

All tardies are “unexcused” unless the student arrives on a late bus or has a doctor/dentist appointment that morning. 

Please provide a copy of the doctor/dentist note to the secretary at the time of arrival at school to ensure  the "tardy" will be marked as "excused". 

Consistent tardiness will be referred to the School Counselor and Administrative team.

**Students whose home school is not Parkside Elementary and who do not comply with attendance, tardy, and dismissal expectations could be in violation of their transfer and could be sent back to their home school.

EARLY DISMISSAL:

There will be no early dismissals after 3:15 p.m. as this disrupts classroom instruction at the end of the day. 

Adults asking for a child must show a valid photo ID. Students are only dismissed through the front office. 

If you must pick your child up early for a doctor or dentist appointment, please provide a copy of the visit to the office the next day. 

Please ask for early dismissal only when absolutely necessary.
