What happens if my child does not meet the 600 minute reading goal?

If your child does not meet the 600 minute goal then they will 
not receive 
full credit for their monthly reading grade.  If there is a 
situation 
that prevents your child from meeting the goal, please let me 
know and I can 
make exceptions according to the situation.

Can I pick up missed work if my child is absent?

Yes!  Please email me, or call me and I can have all of the 
missed work put 
together and you can pick it up in the office.  If you call, or 
email me 
ahead of time, I can tell you when the work will be ready to be 
picked up.

How will I know if my child is not passing a subject?

If at any point your child's grade drops below a 70%, you can 
expect a 
progress report to go home in the Thursday folder.  Also you can 
register 
with GradeSpeed to view your child's grades throughout the year.
