Absences and Make Up Work
If a student is absent, it is his or her
responsibility to find out what work needs to be made up and what
notes need to be copied. For each day absent, students have that many
days to make up the homework, test, or quizzes missed. A zero is
received for any work not made up. It is strongly recommended that
students come in for extra help if they have been absent for an
extended period due to illness. I am available during each
homeroom period.
Student Agendas
Students should be writing their
assignments in their agenda every night! Even if there is no
homework, the agenda should state, “no homework.” This is the #1
way to stay on top of your child’s assignments. Homework
assignments vary from class to class and nightly tasks will not be
posted on the website. Homework can and will change daily
depending on how much we accomplish in a given class period. One
major learning process for a middle school student is organization and
individual responsibility. The agenda helps with both!!
Parents, please check your child’s agenda frequently! If you
notice it is not being filled out address this with your child.
Chances are they are not completing their assignments if they are not
writing them down. You can also communicate with me via your
child’s agenda if you do not have access to email.
