Read the new tardy policy for North High, then answer the following questions:
"Definition of Tardy – when the bell rings, all students should be in their classroom/locker room.


Consequences –
- On the 3rd tardy to a given class, student will have after school detention that day for 45 min. (Remember students – you have two tardies to use for emergency purposes)
- If student does not show up for detention – student must attend Sat. School that Saturday.
- If student does not attend Sat. School – student and their parent must have a conference with the student advisor, Ms. Werkmeister, or Assistant Principal, Ms. Jeffers, prior to returning to school.
-After three detentions the student will be placed on an Attendance Contract and a Parent conference will be required.

1. Do you think this is a fair policy?
2. Do you think the policy will get more kids to class on time?
3. How would you adjust the policy?

Classwork
Begin designing your home page for your portfolio. Your portfolio will showcase your work at North High and your activities after school.

The first two items your portfolio home page will link to are:

1. current resume (you must create one of these; find resume formats on the net)
   
2. magnet projects

To design your home page, you can start in fireworks. You can also refer to the mini-lesson we did last week on pop-up menus.

See Mr. Dino's portfolio example here.
