We’re in the middle of our 5th week of school, and I feel that the kids are needing a few reminders. With all of the rules, procedures, new schedules, etc. that a new school year entails it’s not hard to forget some of the details that could greatly impact their grade.

1. Already I have had a SEVERAL students not turning in homework. Remember that an assignment may be turned in one day late for a max. grade of 70, after that it becomes a zero. This, of course, excludes late papers due to absences.

2. Three incomplete or late assignments results in a detention, and six results in a day of SAC.

3. Students may correct ANY failing hw grade for a max. grade of 70. This can help a students’ grade improve, plus will give extra practice on concepts where their skills may be lacking.

4. If a student receives an incomplete or late assignment, they will be ineligible for the reward day that six weeks.

5. I am here every morning by 7:40 to answer questions from previous lessons or about the hw from the night before. This is a great time for students to get one-on-one help or instruction on concepts with which they are struggling.
