When does school start?
School starts on Thursday, August 17!
What should I bring on my first day of school?
Bring your backpack with all your necessary school items including your pencil pouch (with pencils, pens, erasers, ruler, etc.), a 3-ring binder (with lined paper and dividers), and your agenda. Don't forget your lunch and water bottle!
Will attendance be taken for class?
Yes! Your teachers report attendance for every period every day!
Is my work being graded?
Yes! Your work counts and is graded! The work will be inputted into the gradebook, and you will be receiving grades for the quarter and semester.
Can I use the restroom during class?
You need to use the restroom during break, lunch, and even during passing period. If there is any reason to leave the classroom, you'll need to fill out the Digital Hall Pass form. tinyurl.com/DAdigitalhallpass
How can I know my grade in science?
Check PowerSchool often! If you don't check it everyday, check it every week (at the minimum). You and your parents can access PowerSchool to monitor your grades for all your classes.
What do I do if I need help with science?
Email me! Talk to me! Ask me questions! Come in during lunch!
Bottom line: LET ME KNOW. I'll do my best to check in on all my students, but if you have a question, don't be shy in asking me! I'm here to help you!
What's the best way to communicate with you?
The best way to communicate with me is through email.

I was absent. Where can I go to find out what we did in class?
Check your Google Classroom! It will have the most up-to-date information for the assignments of the day. It's also a good idea to have a peer buddy in class so that you can email/communicate with them the work missed.
Remember, if you were absent, you are still responsible for making up the work!
