The document discusses strategies to address student tardiness. It provides tardiness data by grade level, showing that 10th graders have the highest number of tardies. The workshop will discuss ways administrators and teachers can help, such as identifying tardy patterns, tracking chronically late students, establishing classroom routines, engaging students within the first 10 minutes of class, notifying parents, and acknowledging on-time students. Overall, the goal is to have a data-informed discussion on improving current tardiness protocols and methods through stakeholder involvement.

WELCOME!

Why is this issue so important?
Studies show that timeliness is essential for
successful employment and citizenship.
There is a relationship between timeliness and
student achievement.

5. • Identify/Stay informed of Tardy Patterns
• Control the times that students are inside and
outside of class. (Tardy Sweeps Within the First
Ten Minutes of each period).
• Why? So that we know the whereabouts of
students at all times so safety purposes.
What Can Administrators Do?

6. Solutions
Solutions must come from stakeholders through data
informed discussion
Red-Flagging Chronically Late Students Ahead of
Time (After First 3 tardies) and creating some sort of
invention for them.
Speak to surrounding businesses and work with them
so that they do not serve students after a certain time.
(Example: Cougar Burger)
Strategic tracking/scheduling for students that are
consistently tardy.
Established routines and protocols for teachers (Each
teacher has a different process that they use within
first 10 min of instruction).

What are we currently
doing about tardiness?
Can we improve these
methods/protocols?

8. What Can Teachers Do?
• Make sure the first 10 minutes of every class is engaging. Example:
• Warm-Up, Quiz, Activity.
• Build relationships with students (Give you an opportunity to know more
• about them and what they are dealing with outside of class/school)
• Notify Parents (when possible) of issues with student (the earlier the better)
• Have students fill out dialogue journals as they come into class
• Stand by door and greet students as they come in the door (allows teacher to
check for students who are lingering outside of the classroom).
• Acknowledge when a student who is usually late comes to class on time.
