Tardies are becoming an increasing problem in our classes. The beginning of class is used to review the previous day's topics and introduce the new concepts for the day. Missing even just a few minutes of class can really hurt a student's comprehension of class concepts. As well, students arriving late to class are a disruption to the teaching occurring in the classroom and can impede other student's comprehension.
If your student has been tardy, help him/her to review his/her schedule. For morning tardies, avoid being late by getting lunches and bookbags ready the night before and setting your alarm just five minutes earlier. For day time (between classes) tardies, students should evaluate when they need to go to their lockers and when they should bring the books for a couple classes at a time. A few simple steps can make a big difference!
