Tardiness Tips

As the mornings become darker, it can be harder to get up and to school on time. Here are some tips to help get your middle schooler up and ready for an on time arrival to school!

What does it mean to be tardy?

Students are marked tardy if they have not reported to Homeroom by the 8AM bell. Students dropped off by 7:53AM have enough time to stop at their locker and then make it in time to homeroom. Some students are tardy because they are taking too long to get to homeroom due to socializing in the common areas.

Tips to Avoid Tardiness:

• Students should pack their backpack the night before so there is less to do in the morning.
• Set up a morning routine:
  • Hygiene
  • Breakfast
  • Time to make the bus, drive to school or walk to school
