TARDY/TRUANCY POLICY CHANGE

Granite School District high schools are implementing several changes to their Tardy/Truancy Policy.

Here are the changes for Kearns High School:

1. 1A & 1B – If you are less than 10 minutes late to 1A or 1B, go directly to your class. Do not stop for a Tardy Ticket. You will still be late and marked “tardy” but you will not receive a $3 Tardy Ticket. If your tardy results in missing a “Self-Starter” you cannot make that activity up.
2. 1A & 1B – If you are more than 10 minutes late, you will get a ticket as in the past. The ticket will now be called a “Truancy Ticket” and will result in a $3 fine.
3. All Other Periods – If you are less than 5 minutes late go directly to your class. Do not stop for a Tardy Ticket. You will still be late and marked “tardy”, but you will not receive a $3 Tardy Ticket. If your tardy results in missing a “Self-Starter” you cannot make that activity up.
4. All Other Periods – If you are more than 5 minutes late, you will get a ticket as in the past. The ticket will now be called a “Truancy Ticket” and will result in a $3 fine.
5. All Periods – If you are 20 minutes or later to a class you will be marked as “absent”.
6. The remainder of the Tardy/Truancy/Absence Policy stays the same.
