Reminders to parents

1.       If homework is not handed in the day it is due it cannot be made up and the students is given dentition.
2.       Tests are not to be taken in pencil. If a student wants to use pencil to do homework, and take class notes that is acceptable.
3.       When children are given a research paper, if they copy and paste their work from a web site they will receive a 0 for their paper. Plagiarism is not acceptable.
4.       If a student wants extra help, I am always willing to help. They must take it upon themselves to come to me and ask.
5.       It is the students’ job to copy down their homework and test. Students are never given TEST without ample time to study. If they do not write it down when they are told about it, it is their own fault.
6.       If a student is absent the day before a test that does not excuse them from the test. 
7. If students are absent the day a project is due it is to be handed in the day they return to school.
