Tardiness Policy

Lake Gibson High School has a tardy policy that all students will adhere to. The first bell rings at 6:50 a.m. to signal the students to head to the first period. The next bell at 6:55am, lets students know that there are 5 minutes remaining to report to first period. The students are tardy at 7:00 a.m. if they are not in class when the bell rings. All 1st period tardy students MUST report to the front office to receive a tardy slip to enter class. The students have 6 minutes to report to all other periods to transition to their classes. If any student is tardy, they will report to the learning center for that period. Excessive tardies will receive discipline.

Individuals authorized to check students out of school must park in the circle drive and enter at the front office. Everyone must present picture identification (valid state driver license, state identification card, U.S. military identification card, passport).

Student Identification Badges

Polk County Public Schools has mandated that all 6 – 12th grades will be required to wear a student identification badge.

The initial student identification badge will be provided to all students at no cost to ensure the safety and security of all students and staff. Students will also be provided a lanyard to wear the ID badge around their necks.

Anytime a student forgets or misplaces their ID badge, they will be sent to the Dean’s office to get a replacement badge. The cost of each replacement badge is $5.00. If a student is unable to pay for the badge at the time, they will be given a badge and placed on the obligation list.
