Homework is Not Optional
Homework is a key part of learning, and it is important that students complete it every day. Beginning next week, students in Mr. Laurence’s and Mrs. Maldonado’s classes who do not turn in homework will be required to sign the Red Book. The Red Book is our consequence log for students who are not prepared, not prompt, not polite, or not promoting the learning environment. Please help us by ensuring your child has their homework ready each day.
