"Hay que llegar no tarde a clase."
No hay que llegar tarde a la clase.
or, No es correcto llegar tarde a la clase.

No hay que..
The "no" is negating the "one must"; not "late"
We don't say one must arrive "not late" to mean one must arrive on time or early.
The "no" would never break the periphrasis:
no [ir +a+infinitive]
no [ir+gerund]
no [tener+que]
no [estar+gerund]
