MHSHS Student Expectations

Feel the Pulse!

Tardies to school

The school considers students tardy from the ringing of the first period bell until 7:35am on Monday, Tuesday and Friday (skinny days) and until 8:00am on Wednesday and Thursday (block days).

After 7:35 a.m., a student must check-in through the attendance office.

Tardies to class

All students are expected to be in class on time.

If a student is not in the classroom on time, the student is tardy and will need to report to a tardy station on B Floor, C Floor, D Floor, or go to the attendance office to receive a tardy slip.

Once a tardy slip is received, the student is to report directly to class and give their teacher their tardy slip. Students who are more than ten (10) minutes late to class are AWOL (absent without official leave).

Unexcused Tardy to Class Procedure

1st– 5th Offense: Warning

6th-7th Offense: Administrative Detention

8th-9th Offense: Saturday School

Absence Procedures

On the day the student returns to school, (s)he must bring a note signed by a parent/guardian explaining why the student was absent from school.

The note should include the student’s first and last name, student number, grade level, the date of absence, reason, parent signature, and phone number for verification.

The student must turn in the completed form to the Attendance Office.

Prearranged Absences

The school records prearranged absences as unexcused absences by state definition.

If parents find it necessary for students to miss school due to an out of town trip (limit five (5) days per year), the administration must approve the absence.

If approved, the student may make up missed work.
