Hit: Student lates/late policies

[Kathy Thomson <KThomson@EPSB.EDMONTON.AB.CA>]

Hi all.  Thanks to all who took the time to respond.  I wish I had more to
offer.

My original post:

I have been asked to find some information about what other schools do to
reduce the number of students who arrive at school late in the
morning/afternoon.  I am not referring to arriving late for a class, but
rather arriving late for morning and/or afternoon registration.

We are interested in doing something other than giving daily detentions as a
consequence.  Do you have any suggestions regarding consequences that
actually work to reduce student lates?


Responses:
Just a note about the campus I am on. The staff is instructed to lock the
doors
after the tardy bell rings and all students must have a tardy pass to be
admitted to
class. After three tardies that student is given On Campus Suspinsion and
additional
tardied can involve Saturday school, and suspension. The key to for all of
the staff
to buy into whatever is agreed on.
