getting there

What if I oversleep and get to school late? Will I get into big

trouble?

Sleepy Samara

If you know you’re going to be late, ask your mom or dad to write

a note or call the school explaining why. It’s OK to be tardy once in

a while if you have a good reason. By middle school, though, you’re

expected to be there before the bell rings. If oversleeping is a problem

for you, this is a good time to start working on new habits.

Last school year, I was late almost every day. Next year I am

going to middle school, and I’ll have to get up even earlier.

I need a plan to help me get ready in the morning. Help!

Not OK

Take a look at your morning schedule and see where you can gain some

time. Do you need to set the alarm to go off earlier? Or maybe you

should talk to your siblings about letting you in the bathroom first.

and out in the morning.
