At PTHS, instructional time is viewed as a precious resource. Consequently, we view chronic tardiness as a serious problem. In the spring semester, we will work toward having students in class and on time. Our school’s sequence of consequences for tardiness is listed below. Note that at each tardy, you will receive a notice similar to this letter. If the problem continues, additional consequences will be imposed. Thank you for your support in ensuring your student’s punctual attendance to class so class time is maximized.
