Yes, it may be possible depending on the rules and policies for tardiness at your school. If there was a legitimate reason for being late, perhaps your Mom could talk to the attendance officer about why you’re late. Check your Student Handbook (it should be available online through the school’s website) and see what it says about absences and tardies. Good luck. (Check our Teen Help Network for more help and resources in your area. This is information only – not legal advice.)
