Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
How can I best get in touch with Mrs. McIntyre?
Parents - the best way to get in touch with me is through email. I check my email at least three times a day and usually respond promptly. Students - I am available and in my room by 7:10 every morning. I also hold afterschool tutorials on Tuesdays 2:30 to 4:00 pm and Thursdays by appointment only. Another way to communicate with me is through email. Students often email me over the course of an evening or weekend with questions. Also students, having printer/computer difficulty, are prompt in sending electronic copies of assignments.Back to Top
Does Mrs. McIntyre accept late work?
Classwork and homework is accepted only on the day it is due. If student does not have homework at beginning of class, he or she has till 2:30 that day to hand it in (maximum 50%). Remember, homework is due at the beginning of class! Anything I receive after this will be considered late. I do accept late projects and reports at -10 points a day (not class but school days).Back to Top
Can I retake tests or quizzes?
With my permission and only during Tuesday tutorial. Your final score will be the average of both exams.Back to Top
What are your classroom rules and what happens if I break them?
See my section on classroom rules for a detailed list of expectations and consequences. Generally there are five golden rules we all follow in class: Be prompt, be prepared, be respectful, listen to others, keep all electronics, food, beverages and negative attitudes outside of class! (The most important rule is be respectful to yourself and others!)Back to Top
Lakeland High has a tardy policy. The first and second time you are late you receive verbal warnings. The third time you are late you receive an afterschool detention. The fourth time you are late you are suspended. Fair warning: After the second week of school, I do adhere to the tardy policy till the last day of school. Students, many of you like to linger out in the hallway and wait till the last minute to shoot into class. Not a good idea if you want to avoid tardies!Back to Top
