<\/a>Tardiness has historically been a big problem in our school, but we are improving on this situation despite long tardy lines. During the first week in December, there were 1,014 tardies reported in the attendance office. The next week, the number of tardies plummeted to 769 tardies, and more than 90% of these tardies were during the first period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pueblo\u2019s faculty has addressed this problem and working hard to help decrease students\u2019 tardies. As of mid-December, Behavior Interventionists have completed 258 interventions, 236 student conferences, 20 parent conferences, and two lunch restorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms. Angelica Aros, one of Pueblo\u2019s attendance clerks said, \u201cYes, I believe Pueblo can make a change. These lines are not the solution. Students need to value their time at school more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Steve Lopez, assistance principal, affirmed that after students are tardy six times, parents will be called. If tardies persist, Lopez added that home they will be required to attend \u201cSaturday School\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bryan Ramirez, a junior, said \u201cI\u2019ve had to go to lunch detention and it truly does help me get back on my feet and realize what am doing is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tardiness begins in the morning right after the first bell, at 8 a.m. 1st Period, and within 15 minutes, the tardy line serpentines from the attendance office to the outside\u2014consisting sometimes as many as a hundred students. Some students express their frustration because they were just seconds late\u2014and still not allowed in class.\u00a0 By the time they receive their tardy slip and go to class, students will have missed half\u2014or more\u2014of their class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe whole tardy policy is just a mess,\u201d said student Ramirez.\u00a0 \u201cAdministration needs to come up with a more effective way to deal with students\u2019 tardies. Being in long lines is not a solution\u2014it’s just a band-aid to a big problem.\u00a0 I believe that students and teachers should come up with more innovative ways to deal with our tardies. I suppose that students themselves need to fix the tardy problem by just showing up to school on time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Administration said that they will continue to make improvements in the tardy policy.\u00a0 \u201cSo far, the tardiness problem has improved,\u201d said Assistant Principal Steve Lopez. \u201cWe could always do better, however, and we\u2019ll continue to make improvements as the discussion continues.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
