Do students have homework every night?

Students have classwork every day.  They do not have homework.  
If, however, your student has a computer at home we encourage 
them to practice their typing skills at home.

How does a student get assignments if they have been absent?

If a student is absent they should see me to find out what 
they've missed.  If the absence is excused they may come in early 
before school or stay late after school to make up their work.  
The absence will not affect their grade as long as they make up 
their work.  Even if the absence is unexcused the student should 
see me to find out what they missed, although will receive a zero 
for the day.

Do you accept late work?

Because all work is done in class using special software and must 
be saved to the school computer, if a student is absent there is 
no practical way for them to make up missing or late work at 
home.  If the absence is excused they may come in early before 
school or stay late after school to make up their work.  The 
absence will not affect their grade as long as they make up their 
work.  If the absence is unexcused the student will receive a 
zero for the day.

Do students have an opportunity to work on homework at school?

Time will be given during class to work on class work.  There may 
be occasions such as when the power goes off that students will 
have an opportunity to do homework for other classes.  Students 
should never come to class without a book or some homework to 
keep them occupied if the computer system is down.

How can I get in touch with you?

There are a number of ways that I will try to keep in touch.  The 
best way is to email me at easterlingw@wcschools.com.  You can 
also call the school and leave a message.  I will try to return 
your call by the next day.  Work and notices of upcoming tests 
are posted on the board every day and should be copied by the 
students into their agendas.  I encourage you to read and 
initial their agendas regularly.  Grades will be sent home each 
mid-nine week period and report cards will be issued at the end 
of each nine weeks.
