Since my school revised its tardy policy this year, a revised tardy form was in order. And it’s a good thing I did it quickly! Already, after only two weeks of school, I’ve had to contact two parents! :( And at least six other students have received their warnings…
Last year, students who were tardy to class received a warning for the first tardy, one day of after-school detention for the second tardy, two days of after-school detention for the third tardy, and referrals for all subsequent tardies. Last year’s form, which finally came to fruition in May, reflected these categories.
This year, students will still receive a warning for the first tardy, but for the second tardy, students’ parents will be contacted (by teachers). For the third tardy, students will receive one day of detention, and all subsequent tardies will result in referrals to the office. This year’s form provides a place for all necessary dates.
To download the tardy sheet, which is a Word DOC file, you can either click on the image above or click here.
You can feel free to modify it to suit your school’s tardy policy, as long as you make your form freely available, as well. :)
