Expectations
• Homework – Homework will reinforce skill areas covered in class. It is always due the next day for class unless otherwise specified by the teacher.
• Absentees: If your student is absent from school,
they are allowed a certain amount of days to make up the work according to how many days of school he/she has missed (See Student Handbook). If the workload is too large, contact your child’s teacher to make accommodations.
