What is the difference between tardies and unexcused absences?

Question

I've never been tardy to my classes in middle school ans so far in high school but I used to in Elementary school when I'd miss or come to school late with no excuse. I've had unexcused absences in middle school and one in high school. Are those unexcused absences counted as tardies or just absence? Or both? Thanks?

Answer 1

An unexcused absence basically means that you skip class, so you are counted absent and it goes against certain things such as ISS and other punishments. Tardies is when you are just late to class

Two completley different concepts
