Does it seem too much?

I was thinking to type out a note than can be copied and have blank spaces for info pertaining to the student specifically. When a student is tardy I would fill in name, date, students excuse for tardy and how many tarsiers have been counted for that student in that grading term. The student would need to have their parent sign the form and return it. I also already have in use a firm which is filled out when a student fails to return multiple papers requiring a student signature. The form list each unsigned form and date it was issued so the parent can be made aware.

mc I agree with you. If all is posted, the onus is on the parent to check data.

It's not too much but it's on the cold side. Do you have many students? A form is cold - we all hate forms. Do you have parents' e-mail addresses?

Thank heaven for robocalls Our attendance sheets are scanned by computer, and when students are absent or tardy, their parents get an automatic phone call from Computerized Tardy Alert Man.

If I had to sit around writing notes to every parent whose kid shows up late for class, I'd never get anything else done.
