Our administrative team would like to take this opportunity to highlight a few items in the student code of conduct. Your emphasis to your child helps us insure that we maintain a safe, secure, learning environment at Copley High School.

The Copley High School faculty and administration feels strongly that good attendance and punctuality are essential to academic achievement and that they also prepare students to be successful in life after school. The attendance policies of Copley High School have been established to set reasonable expectations for attendance that will insure the appropriate, active involvement of students and help them to attain their educational goals. Tardiness is defined as being less than 10 minutes late to any class. After 10 minutes the absence from class will be considered a class cut (see rule 9). All students must be on time to school and class. If a student is not on time, the following consequences will occur:

Tardy to School

•  7th and 8th Tardy – 1-3 days I.S.A.P.
• 9th Tardy and Subsequent Tardies – Loss of driving/parking privilege – 3 days of OSS (Failure to serve a Friday Detention will result in a 3 day OSS) (Students may be offered the option of riding the bus as an alternative to suspension for tardies to school.)

• 2nd Tardy – Teacher Warning
• 3rd and 4th Tardy – Teacher assigns a detention for each tardy
• 5th Tardy and Subsequent Tardies – a Disciplinary Referral will be sent to the Assistant Principal and a Friday Detention will be assigned. ( Friday Detention will result in 3 days OSS)
