Late Policy:
Three Oaks has introduced a new late policy scheduled to begin the first day of the second semester. The following is the policy:
A "Late" is defined as entering a class following the late bell or being unprepared for class and unable to return with the necessary materials before the second bell which begins class (late bell). A "late" is excused if a note is presented regarding a special appointment or a school sponsored activity.
If a student shows up late, the subject teach will inform them they are late and record it. When a student reaches their 3rd late, the student will be assigned a 10 minute detention with the subject teacher. If a 4th, 5th or 6th late should occur, the student will be assigned a 30 minute detention to be served at lunchtime in the detention room. For each late after 6, a student will be assigned a one hour detention to be served over two lunch hours in the detention room.
Students must bring material with them to work on to be admitted to the detention room. There will be no food or drink allowed in the detention room.
