Tardiness to School
In the past few months the amount of tardies at Montini has risen. Please make every effort to have your child to school before the tardy bell rings.
Several studies have shown that school tardiness has a negative impact on learning outcomes. By the mere nature of arriving late and missing school hours, students receive fewer hours of instruction than students who are in class when the bell sounds. Not only does a student who is consistently arriving late to school establish bad punctuality habits, their tardiness also disrupts the learning of other students in their classes. The researchers found that students who are frequently late to school often miss out on important opening announcements and academic activities. Arriving late to school can also mean that students miss out on activities designed to build connections with their peers, potentially impacting their social interactions and creating a greater sense of alienation from their classmates.
