[quote=Anonymous]"Occasional tardiness for valid reasons is not a serious offense; however, repeated or habitual tardiness encourages the formation of undesirable personal habits and disrupts the orderly instructional process of the school. When a student arrives tardy, parents must escort their child to the office and assist him/her in obtaining a tardy pass to class. This is required to ensure the safety and well-being of the student. In addition, the school may require the parent or guardian to provide justification to determine the reason for the student’s tardiness. If this does not occur and documentation is not provided by the parent, as to the reason for the tardy, the tardy may be considered unexcused. If a student is tardy more than 10 times, a letter will be sent to the parent as notification of the school’s concern for the student’s non-attendance, and a physician’s note may be required. If the pattern of tardiness does not improve a referral will be made to the Attendance Officer."

Pack lunches the night before, put the shoes and backpacks together, braid hair the night before, purchase several of the loudest, most obnoxious alarm clocks known to mankind and set them.

The kids all attend the same school!  My kids never overlapped but I was able to get them where they needed to be on time AND get to work.

You would think that attorneys would have a particular appreciation for deadlines and punctuality.  I would find it very amusing if they are late to court tomorrow.  If the judge is aware that one or both of them are attorneys AND they are late, I bet they cough up $500.[/quote]
