Here are some general notes about homework:
Behind in your work due to absence?
You may use the computer lab during recess any day except Thurs.
About Keyboarding homework: Students have at least 2 weeks to complete a
drill. Click "Keyboarding and other Great Links" on the left to find my keyboarding
homework link. Be sure to put your name on the printout.
Printer not working? Ask Mom or Dad to email the homework to me--send a
screenshot or PDF. Just click the mailbox on this page for my email.
Internet not working? Ask me for a printed copy. You can type from that.
Is your home computer unavailable? Arrange to come to the lab during activity
or recess and use the school computer.
*Please Note: Changes may occur to assignments during actual class
instruction that may not always be listed on this page. Remember to always
refer to your child's Assignment Notebook. This site is a support and aid to,
not a replacement for, the Assignment Notebook provided to all students.
Students are expected to keep their Assignment Notebooks current every day in
my classroom. I will do my best to see that what is posted on this site and
what is in your child’s assignment notebook match. Ms. McCormack
