If my child is absent from school, how can he get his makeup work?

If a student is absent from school they must check their class mailbox for 
any missed homework, classwork, notes, tests etc. If a student chooses not 
to 
complete the missed assignments they will get a zero for every missed 
assignment.

Can my child earn extra credit to bring up his/her grades?

All students have an opportunity for extra credit to bring up their grades. 
All class work is seen as an opportunity for extra credit. When a student 
receives a low project or test grade, their class work is used as an 
opportunity to help boost their grade. However the student may need to take 
the initiative to see the teacher in order to use the class work as extra 
credit.However all students must exhibit knowledge of an assignment in order 
to pass a class.

Will too many absences affect my childs grades?

Yes! If a student is not in school they are not learning. If a student is 
not 
learning then they will not be able to effectively participate in class on 
any level.

Are school supplies important?

A child who is prepared for school is a child who has his supplies on a 
daily 
basis. Students need to come to school with all of their school supplies 
every day. Students who are not prepared will get a demerit.

If I need to talk to you (Ms. Harvey), how can I reach you?

I can reached through this website via email or by telephone. My schedule 
can 
be view online also. A good time to speak to me would be during my prep 
times. Otherwise you can drop me an email and I would be more than happy to 
answer any questions you may have.

If I forget to sign my childs work will he receive full credit?

No! It is the parent and childs responsibility to make sure that all work is 
handed in on time. There are students who constantly turn in their work and 
receive full credit because they are being responsible for their work. 
Although I understand mistakes happen that does not change the policy for my 
class. So basically if the homework is not in when its due and its not 
signed then they will lose credit for that homework. If this is consistently 
happening a letter will be sent home and a phone call will follow. I like to 
promote responsibility and taking responsibility for your actions with my 
students. Requiring them to bring in homework signed on a daily basis will 
help them to be successful and organized in life.
