 What do I do if I am absent?
On the wall in the classroom are two calendars that list assignments by 
day.  Please carry your planner to the calendar and write the assignments 
missed in the appropriate space of your planner.  If a worksheet is listed, 
the copies are located in the binders under the calendars.  The number of 
days you are absent is the amount of time you have to complete the make-up 
work.  For example: missing 1 day means the assignment is due the day after 
you return or missing 3 days means you have three days to complete the 
assignments.

 What do I do if I need extra help?
If you need extra help on an assignment bring that assignment to tutorials 
and we will go over it together.  Tutorial times are Tuesdays and Thursdays 
3:15 to 3:45.  You do not have to be invited to attend.  You do need to 
bring your materials and your questions.

 How do I know if my child has homework?
Everyday the plan for the day is written on the board.  Students are 
expected and encouraged to copy the homework assignment into their planners 
(all academic class periods).  Please check the planner daily.  If you see 
that your child has a blank planner he or she is not following directions.  
This is a great communication tool if everyone is doing their part.  The 
homework assignments can also be found under the homework button on the home 
page.
