Late Work
Late work will be accepted ONLY with communication with teacher. Each day an assignment is late, the grade will drop by 10%. Late work will not be accepted after we have started a new unit. Students are encouraged to hand in all assignments on time as homework will relate to the unit of study we're in.
Make-up Work
Absence from class is strongly discouraged, however if your child is ill, or must miss class for any reason, I encourage you to contact me so that we can figure out a game plan to stay caught up. My email address is [email protected].
Extra Help
I am willing to meet with any student who is experiencing problems with curriculum assignments. I am available each day during lunch, and before or after school with an appointment.
**I will do my best to update the classroom website weekly on Monday’s. Thanks again for your cooperation, and I look forward to a great year working with you and preparing you for success in middle school and beyond.
