11. How to be Prompt
Objective: Students at Jordan High School will explain why it is important to be prompt to school and classes.
Point 1: Anyone with a job has the responsibility to report to work on time. Workers who don’t report to work have consequences, including, but not limited to losing their job. A student’s job is learning. As such, students are expected to report to school every day on time as well as reporting to each and every class daily on time.

12. Point 2: The school day at Jordan High School begins at 7:30 am and ends at 2:30 pm. Although some students report to school earlier than 7:30 am, the time after which you are counted tardy is 7:30 am. If the tardiness is caused by something that is out of your control, your tardy will be excused. However, if you are late and it is because of something you can control, you are not excused.

13. Examples of an EXCUSED tardy:
Bus is late to school / car trouble
Traffic accident on your route to school
Morning doctor / dentist appointment
Family emergencies
Students must bring a written excuse for any and all absences including family emergencies, doctor appointments, etc, as soon as possible. Give written excuses to the attendance office.

14. Examples of an UNEXCUSED tardy:
You woke up late/overslept
Your alarm did not go off/forgot to set it
You walked and left home late
You were visiting with friends.

15. Point 3: If you are tardy to school in the morning, or any time you arrive to school late, even if it is close to lunchtime, you are required to first report to the attendance office to sign in and obtain a written pass from an adult in order to be admitted to class. Failing to do so will result in you being sent back to the attendance office, which is a further waste of time when you need to be in class to learn.

16. Point 4: Due to the fact that we have over 2000 students, it is important that you go through the hallways quickly. You will have 6 minutes to get to your next class. You must be in your classroom with your materials and be ready to learn to be considered on time for class. The time in between classes is not a time for hanging out, loitering in the hallways or at your locker, visiting with your friends, or lagging behind, then hurrying and running to get to your next class. It is not proper or fair to yourself, other students, or your teachers to come to class late. You have the responsibility to be on time. It is a lifelong habit that should be taken seriously. You have social time on the bus, at lunch and after school. In between classes is not a time for socialization. A total of 3 tardies will result in a detention.
