Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
Is late work accepted in 7th grade?
Late work is not accepted in 7th grade. It is our responsibility to teach good habits that lead to success. (Work not turned in on time is given 1 point to reflect the fact that the assignment has been turned in.) We do realize there are emergencies in life. Each quarter you will receive two late work "passes". One is for 100% credit and one is for 50% credit on the late assignment. Staple your pass to the late work in order to receive 100% or 50% on your late assignment.Back to Top
How do I make-up work if I am absent?
At the beginning of the year, students choose one "Study Buddy" to write down assignments if they are absent. Upon returning to school, students contact their Study Buddy for the previous day's work. Students are given one day to make up assignments for each day missed (excused absences only).Back to Top
What should I do if I don't understand an assignment?

Please make arrangements ahead of time and make sure you have transportation provided after school.Back to Top
