T J. Attendance & Tardy Policy
Thomas Jefferson High School is committed to excellence in learning. Good attendance and being on time are essential skills toward becoming prepared for college. In an effort to assure that all students are allowed the educational opportunities that they are due, we will be following the attendance and tardy policy below.
Our goal is to take advantage of all of the possible learning that we can. Being on time and in class every day allows students and teachers the opportunity to make the most of our learning time in order to be successful in working towards graduation and college
All students will be in the location that they are assigned before the bell rings and ready to learn. If students do not have a scheduled class they are not allowed to be in the hallways. Students need to report to the Lunchroom or Pass Room or make arrangements with adults. In other words, all students are in their classrooms prior to the bell ringing
