Please be at school on time. The first period begins at 8:30 so students need to be in school no later than 8:20. If they are not in the lunchroom when I arrive they will be missing part of my instruction in the morning and their grades will reflect that.

Showing up on time to school each day benefits students' academic performance and future professional habits. Students who arrive at school early have an advantage over classmates who stumble through the door after class has begun. Consistent unexcused tardiness can mean short-term penalties and lifelong consequences. Students are well-advised to learn not just the advantages of showing up early but also the pitfalls of showing up late.

The 5 Most Important Skills Students Need

Homework

Homework will be given Monday through Thursday and several project based learning activities will be given each month. Students will write their homework down in their homework assignment book. Homework will be based on lessons that were taught that day. If students are having a tough time with homework, then they are to at least attempt it and refer to the lesson taught that day. Students are responsible for all homework even if they are not in school. In emergency situations students must bring in a signed note stating why the homework was not completed. Please encourage your child to have a classroom buddy or buddies that they can communicate with and use as a resource.
