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 will notify the student of their
assigned date and time of their warranted disciplinary action. It will even allow you to
process
disciplinary actions for all other types of infractions,
not just tardies.
The system maintains 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.
