How it Works

What Tardy Management With Minga Looks Like

Most tardy systems record who was late and stop there. Minga runs the whole process: the scan, the consequence, the parent message, and the pattern that’s starting before it becomes a habit.

End the Morning Late Line For Good

With just an ID scan to check in late, tardy lines become a thing of the past, and the first few minutes of class always stay protected.

PASSING PERIOD TARDIES

Take Tardies Off Your Teachers’ Plates Entirely

Put tardy kiosks in the hallway so they get handled without a teacher touching them. Or let teachers log them in seconds if that suits your building better. Either way, nobody on staff has to track or manage the consequences.

AUTOMATIC CONSEQUENCES & PARENT ALERTS

Hold Students Accountable Every Time

Minga keeps track of repeat tardies, applies your policy for you, assigns the consequence, and tells families the moment it happens. Nobody has to chase a parent at 4pm.
