Why It Matters

• Missing Instruction: Even being a few minutes late means missing explanations, directions, and learning opportunities.
• Falling Behind: Skipping one class may not seem like much, but over time, it creates gaps that are hard to catch up on.
• Lost Credit Opportunities: Cutting class can lead to lower grades, incomplete assignments, and even course failures.
• Future Impact: Colleges, employers, and training programs all value reliability. Attendance is often the first impression of your commitment.

The Risks of Lateness or Cutting Class

• You build a reputation as responsible and dependable.
