The Tardy Calculator

Tardy Calculator Software for K-12 Schools

The easiest way to track tardiness, enforce discipline policies, and improve on-time attendance.

Managing student lateness manually creates inconsistency, frustration, and lost instructional time.

Tardy Calculator is a school tardy management and student discipline tracking system built specifically for U.S. K-12 schools. It helps administrators quickly record tardy incidents, automate consequences, and identify patterns of chronic lateness before they become bigger behavior problems.

Instead of spreadsheets, paper tardy tickets, or manual tardy counts, schools use Tardy Calculator to run a simple, automated tardy tracking system that keeps staff aligned and classrooms focused on learning.
