At Nottingham H.S., we are having quite a problem with students arriving
late to their first period class.  We are an urban school, grades 9-12.
Some students walk; some come on the regular city buses; some drive their
own cars; others are dropped off by parents.  We are using a variety of
methods to discourage tardiness:  detention, calling home, counseling
students.  But tardiness continues to increase.  I am on the Discipline
Committee and we have chosen "To decrease tardy arrivals to first period
class" as one of our major goals for next year. Can you help?  Do you or
have you had this problem in your school?  What solutions have you used
to decrease tardiness to class, esp. first period?

        Please respond to me directly at  jagray@freeside.scsd.k12.ny.us
 I will summarize results and post a hit if there is interest.

        Thanks for helping.  I know this is a little out of our usual
discussion sphere - but since I am a librarian serving on a discipline
committee, were else would I logically turn for help!  :-)

        P.S.  I'm checking the LM_NET archives and the k12Admin archives
and ASKERIC also.

incorporate it into my file and am not sure whether it's working yet or not.
