THE DILEMMA
Students
who are late to class lose the benefit of instruction, disrupt classes, and interfere with lessons in progress and with other students' opportunities to
learn.
Research indicates that students will
continue to be late to their classes until they realize that this behavior will
no longer be tolerated. The dilemma clearly becomes, how do we focus on these
students and how do we track their repeated infractions, while handling their disciplinary
actions.
THE SOLUTION
With this in mind, we have
created an efficient tardy/discipline-tracking system, the Tardy Calculator©,
that has the necessary tools that will enable your campus to pin-point
problematic areas that need to be addressed. The systems’ tools allow you to
solicit parent and staff involvement by putting the students, parents and
teachers on notice; all at the time of the infraction. Using the Tardy
Calculator© will provide your school with the means to enact a
firm and consistent school tardy policy which gives immediate
notification to students and parents of their sanctions. It has a
proven track record in helping schools make a dramatic decrease in their
tardies. The Tardy Calculator© can help your school achieve
these same results.
The Tardy Calculator© has
played a key role in schools that have seen, not only a dramatic drop in their tardies,
but most importantly, a change in the students behavior towards getting to class
on time. These schools have also used the Tardy Calculator© as an early prevention
program to detect signs of truancy.
How It Works
The Tardy Calculator©
functions as the “administrator in charge” per say, allowing for more time to
handle other related issues, such as the actual discipline.
The system will track which students are being late and to which classes.
Based on your campus' tardy policy, it will issue immediate notice of their
disciplinary actions (consequences) at the time of infraction. The system
has a powerful scheduler that will automatically assign a date, time and the disciplinary action that is warranted. It
will even allow you to schedule disciplinary actions for all other types of
infractions, not just tardies.
The Tardy Calculator©
will ensure that the disciplinary actions do not overlap, thus, students will
serve each consequence for each infraction. The system automatically
creates discipline (Detention and Suspension) rosters enabling you to determine
who has or has not served their punishment. A great and must have tool for
your ISS teacher!
The system offers many ways
to notify parents directly of these infractions. This allows you to
keep parents abreast of their child's disciplinary actions. This will also provide you with
an avenue to solicit their help and involvement.
The Tardy Calculator©
comes with a powerful Report Manager allowing you to analyze problematic areas. The Report Manager comes with many useful reports allowing you to focus on
specific students, class periods, and much more. These
reports are useful in parent conferences, court appearances and analyzing your
data. Your report analysis can help correct or improve the problem, thereby
reducing student tardiness and in turn increasing student attendance.
The Tardy Calculator©
is a modular system designed to grow with your school. It's modules are
packed with many features and benefits that will help your school effectively
manage all areas related to student infractions and their discipline.
Don't delay, start using the Tardy Calculator©
and take control of your tardies once and for all.
Take Preventive Action
The United States has become the most litigious nation in the
world, and most of these lawsuits are directed toward schools.
Increasingly, parents are holding schools accountable for the inconsistency and
biased assignment of disciplinary actions for their children. Schools
must take preventive actions to protect themselves from these grievances.
Don't allow your school to become a victim.
The Tardy Calculator© is designed to provide efficient and
effective tools that schools demand to implement a consistent automated tardy policy.
The computerized assignment of standardized discipline for each student removes
the liability form teachers and/or administrators, since they are no longer making the decisions on assigning the consequences. It also provides irrefutable
detailed documentation that can be used in court and/or parent conferences.
THE RESULT
Punctuality enables students to achieve
the maximum value of their academic program and develops a responsible habit
that will have value for students in future years.
