Making the choice not to dress and be tardy result in the following consequences : 1st offense – talk with student; 2nd – contact parents; 3rd – lunch detention; 4th – 1 hour after school detention, 5th – 2 hour after school detention and 6th – drop class to retake later. For sitting out, detention can be assigning on the first offense.
