Homework and GradesStudents should expect approximately two to three days of homework weekly in order to keep their grades up. Long-term projects will be introduced and worked on in class and at home. Due dates will be fair and strictly enforced. I will accept late work within reason. Excused absences will allow for extended deadlines. Students that are present in class usually experience more success in class than those who are habitually absent. Current grades are posted regularly through Power Schools for student and parent viewing. Students are able to inform you of their current status throughout the school year and you can view current grades through the internet. Progress notices will be posted and distributed on the published dates for all students. Please monitor these notices and if you have concerns about anything e-mail me ([email protected]) or write me a note. Information about our website was given out during registration. If you need the information, please call the school.
