1.13.10 - New Attendance Policy
Hopewell will institute a new school tardy policy beginning January 26th, the beginning of 2nd semester. Parents are no longer required to accompany a tardy student. Students will report directly to room 642 to sign in. Students will receive 4 tardies (excused or unexcused) per semester without consequence. At the 5th tardy, students will remain in lock out until the end of the period. Excessive tardies will result in further administrative action. The only tardies that will not count toward the 4 per semester are when students provide a medical or court note confirming the reason for the tardy.
