Homework is not assigned as a punishment. Homework is planned to extend and reinforce the daily learning experience by providing reiinforcing independence, practice, finishing the current day's lesson, or to serve as an introduction for the next day's lesson (homework in the JEDI classroom will only be assigned on Tuesdays and Thursdays as a general rule).
Homework should also help develop the pupil's responsibility and provide an opportunity for the exercise of independent work and judgment. Every students are expected to record every homework assignment in their assignment pad every day. Not all assignments are reflected in the OnCourse homework calendar or Google Classroom as plans often change depending on the needs of the class that day or the needs of your student.

Students that are absent receive the same amount of days they were out to make up missed work.

Barring all-out emergencies, here is the ’s our guidelines:
Choose an appropriate time:
Students should try to utilize the bathroom as they switch between classes ( we will allow 2-minute window after the tardy bell. If they make it back during that 2 minute window, they will not be counted as late).
Students may use the bathroom only when the teacher is not directly instructing.
Students must sign out & in every time they leave the classroom (for anything) and take a pass.
Sign out (date, name, time, destination i.e., RR, or restroom). Check the sign-out sheet to make sure nobody else is currently signed out (only one student for Boy's and one students for Girl's at a time).
Grab a sticky note and write the time on it and place on your empty desk.
Go immediately to your destination, and come right back.
Sign back in by writing the time on sign in/out sheet. Return quietly to your seat or workspace.
As the procedure is not abused, it will remain the classroom policy.
No food or drink, except water
· You may drink bottled of water in the classroom (it may not be on your desk near a Chromebook). If a
spill occurs, please clean it up immediately and inform the teacher.
· No other food or beverage is permitted unless a snack time has been designated (doctor’s notes
are managed through the Health Office). In the event a snack break is given, please only bring
foods that are peanut/tree nut free in order to maintain an allergy-friendly environment.

Offically Parent-Teacher Conferences are held annually and will be on November 1st and 2nd this year. Conference sign up is usually completed online and a link is typically posted mid-October (Parents are notified in advance using the 'Week Ahead' communication when the link will be posted to the school website).
Aside from that formal time, I will find ways to make myself available any other time a Parent would like to Conference. If face-to-face is not possible or needed, we can teleconference or google meet.
