Round Lake CUSD 116 staff urges students to improve punctuality, offers morning-routine tips
Summary
School staff at Round Lake CUSD 116 delivered a brief announcement encouraging students to arrive on time and provided practical steps—set multiple alarms, prepare items the night before, limit screen time and aim for eight hours of sleep—to reduce missed class time as the district starts the second semester.
A school staff member at Round Lake CUSD 116 said students should arrive on time and offered specific strategies to reduce tardiness, noting that missed class time "can set you back from your education in the long run." (Speaker 1)
The announcement, delivered in a short message to students, emphasized several practical steps: set an alarm (or multiple alarms), prepare needed items the night before, create an extra-time buffer for unexpected delays, maintain a morning checklist and aim for at least eight hours of sleep each night. Speaker 2 advised students to limit screen time before bed, "regularly change your alarm so there's a new sound," and, if using a phone as an alarm, place it away from the bed so they must get up to turn it off.
The speakers framed punctuality as part of academic success and referenced the district's upcoming second semester. The remarks were an informational announcement rather than a policy change or board action; no motions, votes or formal directives were recorded in the transcript.
The district recommended simple, routine changes—alarm habits, night-before preparation and reduced evening screen time—to help students arrive on time and start the semester on schedule.
