“Operation start on time” officially would start the week after Thanksgiving break, giving students a week’s notice of what will happen. The goal of the new system is to get students to class on time.

“I think we had too many kids hanging out in the hallways waiting around, and they were missing instruction, or teachers were waiting to start teaching because they knew kids were going to be late,” said Principal Anthony CK.

This procedure is causing more students to want to get to class on time. Because of the consequences that come if they are late to class.

“I think it’s definitely a much-needed thing, and we’ve already seen a lot of improvement,” said interdisciplinary Jason Susnjar.

Susnjar said there hasn’t been much push back from students. Most just go lunch detention and start going to class on time.

“I don’t think I will continue to be late to class,” said sophomore Leydi Franco Serrano.

After a student serves lunch detention, if they are still late to class for the second time they get a phone call home to their parents followed by in school suspension. If the student has yet to be on time to class the student gets a referral.
