The Advantages of Being on Time vs. Being Late to School Though the early-morning buzzer of an alarm clock (or a smartphone alarm app) can be one of the worst sounds in the world to a sleepy student, repeatedly muffling it via "snooze" button is never a good idea. Showing up on time to school each day benefits students' academic performance and future professional habits. Students who arrive at school early have an advantage over classmates who stumble through the door after class has begun. Consistent unexcused tardiness can mean shortterm penalties and lifelong consequences. Enjoy More Time to Prepare Students arriving to school with time to spare have the luxury of settling in, preparing their class materials and focusing their minds on the lessons to come. They have all the time they need to literally and figuratively wake up. Showing up on time can ameliorate the often-jarring transitioning between sleepy rides on a bus to concentrating on the day’s first lessons. Students showing up to class in the middle of a lesson miss out on this natural transition period and may lose even more of the lesson as they scurry to settle into an academic focus. This ultimately contributes to the lower grades and graduation rates associated with chronic tardiness. Never Miss Important Information Arriving to school after classes have begun can cause students to miss more than just the introduction to a new lesson. While waiting for the "tardy bell" to ring, teachers often share important information: reminders of upcoming quizzes, class trips, new classroom rules, Madison Healthy Start Family Center 750 N.

essay due dates and other school-related specifics. Students who show up late may miss out on these details and as a result, be unprepared for some future class event. While a teacher will likely reiterate crucial information throughout the day, latecomers may miss out on courtesy reminders about homework assignments and other projects. Students who show up on time everyday can rest assured they have all the necessary information.
Develop Positive Lifelong Habits Arriving late to school on a consistent basis can have longer-term academic effects. If showing up late to school becomes a habit, students may develop the notion that tardiness is acceptable behavior. This belief can negatively impact their future work ethic and employment opportunities. Alternatively, showing up on time to school every day can help students develop of the habit of being punctual with important commitments. This habit can serve high school students well through college and into their future careers.
Disciplinary Consequences Most schools have specific policies concerning student tardiness. Generally, these policies allow for the occasional late arrival; rare instances of excused tardiness throughout the school year are often forgiven. Students sometimes have legitimate reasons for showing up late, such as transportation problems and doctor’s appointments. School administrators often consider such events to be "excused absences." However, after reaching a predetermined number of unexcused tardy arrivals, students may be put on a structured disciplinary plan to address any further late arrivals. Depending on their continued infractions, students may be issued after-school detention, campus cleanup duty or even suspension.
