Tardies (being late to school or class) and early releases (leaving school or class before the scheduled end time) can negatively impact student achievement, depending on the frequency and reasons for these occurrences.
We are here to partner with you to ensure your students are here all day, every day. We have policies and interventions in place to address chronic tardiness and early releases, aiming to support students in improving their punctuality and attendance. These measures may include counseling, parent-teacher conferences, and academic support programs. Call us if you need support.
- Tardies
- Disruption: Frequent tardies can disrupt the learning environment for late students and their classmates. It may lead to distractions and missed instructions, impacting a student's ability to grasp the material being taught.
- Missed Content: Tardy students may miss important content or announcements at the beginning of a class, which can affect their understanding of subsequent lessons.
- Habit Formation: Chronic tardiness can lead to the formation of poor habits, including time management and punctuality issues, which can have a long-term impact on a student's academic and professional success.
2. Early Releases:
- Incomplete Assignments: Early releases may lead to incomplete assignments or assessments, affecting a student's grades and overall academic performance.
- Limited Engagement: Students who frequently leave class early may not fully engage in the learning process, missing the opportunity to ask questions, clarify doubts, or benefit from additional resources provided at the end of the class.
- Missed Instruction: Leaving class early can result in missing out on critical instruction, class discussions, or assignments, hindering a student's ability to understand and retain the material.
