Check In/Tardy Policy

Check In/Tardy Procedures

The tardy bell for the beginning of school rings at 7:30 a.m.  Any student arriving after the tardy bell must sign in at the Tardy Table located in front of the Senior Stage in the Commons Area.  It is highly recommended that students bring in a signed parent/guardian note if they are late to school.

Tardies will be considered as unexcused (unless there is a signed note from parent/guardian) and will count towards consequences which will include lunch detention, after-school detention, in-school suspension, and out-of –school suspension.  If the Tardy Table is closed, student is to report to Student Services to check-in and receive a pass to class.  These same procedure will be followed for students who are late for periods 2-7.

Check Out Procedures

ZHS is a closed campus. Students are not permitted to leave school without parent approval. If a note is provided for a student's early release, a phone number where the parent can be reached to verify the dismissal must be presented. It is also the student's responsibility to obtain an Admit Form from the Main Office. The student will be given an admit indicating whether or note the early dismissal is ex used or unexcused according the F.S. 1003.26. the admit will then be used to sign out of the Main Office when the student checks out. Students must attend at least the five classes to participate in extracurricular activities that school day

Parents coming in to check out students must show a picture I.D. anyone checking out a student must be on the student's check out card or emergency card.
