![]() By Laura Soza Are you surprised to see more students from your 1st period class on time? This is due to Hubbard’s new solution to diminish the tardies and interruptions during class. Since the new year, teachers are now standing in front of their classrooms, encouraging students to get to class on time and after the bell rings, if students get to school late or are still standing by their lockers, they are directed to the auditorium. Here, they will scan your I.D and you will be seated according to where your classroom is. Around 8:15, you will be escorted in groups and will be dropped off outside your classroom. Ms. Phillips hopes that this will encourage students to be more responsible and will accustom them to wake up earlier and be on time for their future jobs/careers. Ms. Phillips said, “The hall sweeps are going wonderfully in school. Students are getting to class on time. This is going to keep on going until the end of the school year and so on. Also, it’s an experience for students to be prepared for life outside of high school.” For now, hall sweep are only for 1st period but Ms. Phillips made it clear that the sweep will be implemented for all periods. Mr. Newman stated, “On the first day over 300 students were swept, and up until now the number started to decrease. Although students were still swept, the number has gone down under 170. The consequence to coming in late is a detention, following up with Saturday school, and if neither is served then they will call down parents with a possible suspension. The cause of this was due to teachers getting fed up with students disrupting the class.”
