Parent Involvement Center for the ArtsThe Impact of Tardiness on SchoolSchools stress the need for students to get to school and class on time and with good reason. Studies conducted by the U.S. Department of Education on truancy, which is connected with tardiness, show that school attendance is a major factor when it comes to school success and student behavior.
Problems with Tardiness:The most crucial learning hours of a school day are the morning hours, because they are when students are most attentive. Students who are tardy miss the beginning of their morning classes, and they also cause a distraction when arriving late.
Academics and Achievement:Students who are frequently tardy have lower GPA’s, lower scores on standardized assessments, and lower graduation rates. Chronic tardiness in elementary and middle school is also linked to failure in high school.
Behavior Problems:In the National Center for Education Statistics Indicators of School Crime and Safety, teachers surveyed reported that students who are frequently tardy have higher rates of suspension and other disciplinary measures. Tardiness causes students to feel disconnected with school, leading to behavior problems and dropouts. Students who are frequently tardy to school are also more apt to be fired from a job for showing up late.
Effect on Others:When students are tardy, they negatively impact their teachers and other students. Teachers are often required to allow tardy students to make up work, which often requires them to restructure their lessons or reteach missed material. Tardiness also takes other students’ attention away from a teacher’s lesson, leading to more behavior problems and missed instruction.
Early Sign-outs Can Send the Same Message:Although it may not seem like a big issue to sign your student out early to avoid the pick-up line, it causes a disruption in the busy afternoon office, interrupts the child’s classroom, takes away from the flow of your child’s day, and it unfair to other parents who follow procedures.References: national Center for Education Statistics: Indicators of School Safety Report: US Department of Education Truancy Report: US Department of Education: Manual to Combat Truancy.

Blood Drive We are pleased to share with you that the recent blood drive resulted in 189 people donating, we collected 204 units of blood. Remember, each donation can save up to three lives so that means 612 patients could benefit from the lifesaving efforts of blood donors at Lehigh Senior High School.
The blood donated at the LSHS blood drive will likely be transfused into a patient within 48 to 72 hours. The turnaround is that fast, the need is constant. The next scheduled blood drive is 05/08/19 from 07:00 am to 01:30 pm at Lehigh Senior High School.
