Frequently Asked Questions
Does Mrs. Lindbloom accept late work?
Homework is not accepted late. You must schedule make up work immediately upon your return. It is your responsibility to turn in any assignments that were due and take any quizzes or tests that were given while you were absent within the number of days you were absent plus one. I will only accept work due while you were absent at the beginning of the period on the day of your return. If you have an unexcused absence on a day when you are supposed to give a presentation or take a test, you will receive a zero. Work assigned while you were absent must be made up on the same schedule as your classmates (if they had one class to do the assignment, so will you; if they had a week, so will you). If you ask me to sign a field trip form, you are acknowledging that you are responsible for missed work. All important due dates are listed on my web site for the rest of the year. If you do not have internet access while away from school, ask a classmate what you missed.Back to Top

Only the programs necessary for the current assignment may be running during class. Laptops may only be used during designated times. Doing anything not necessary for the current assignment may result in one or more of the following: confiscation of your laptop for the remainder of the period, loss of the right to use your laptop in class for a week, or referral to an administrator.Back to Top

I am available afternoons Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Please consider emailing me for a more immediate response. I generally check my email at night and on weekends when I know that students are working on important assignments at home.

What do I do if I can't print or dropbox an assignment?
If the problem is with your access to the server but you still have internet access, you can go the "Links" page on this site. Click on the last link which says "Submit Answers from School." Then click on "Click here to send an email to S. Lindbloom." Copy and paste your assignment into the box and click send. The assignment will be sent to my email account.Back to Top
What do I do if I turned in my computer and my assignment was on it?
Please do your best to plan ahead. Save copies of all important assignments (especially journals and essays!) on your personal folder once a week. You have a personal folder which is accessible at all times except in rare circumstances when the server is down. I am unlikely to be flexible regarding long-term assignments if you have computer problems. If you do have a computer problem, please see me as soon as possible so that we can figure out the most fair solution. Keep in mind that computer problems do not excuse you from your work, and that you will likely have to redo assignments quickly.Back to Top
When can I expect Mrs. Lindbloom to sign my field trip form?
I will sign forms for students with C averages or above and for students who have completed all make-up work from previous absences. Students who have D or F averages and/or who have work to make-up need to be in class until they are caught up. Field trips are a privilege, not a right, and academic work takes priority. Note: all students who miss school for field trips are expected to remain on schedule with all work.Back to Top
What do the codes on HCPS link mean?
blank = no grade entered ex = student is excused (most likely a small class assignment done while student was sick) dr = dropped (sometimes students may earn a dropped grade through extra credit) n = not yet graded (student has turned in the assignment but I have not graded it yet) ab = absent (calculated as a zero will become permanent if not made up within three days) unex = Student was in school but did not report to class. Student will receive a permanent zero unless the absence is excused by the adminstration and/or attendance.Back to Top
