How can I find out what homework my child has?

There are multiple ways to find assignment information.
1.  Students are responsible for writing assignments in their 
planners every day when they are assigned, and the due dates for 
long term assignments are to be recorded. 
2. There is a list of all assignments at the end of Wing C on the 
bulletin board.
3. Homework, long-term assignments and general information are 
available on this website.
4. Students are encouraged to have a Study Buddy to call when 
they need to find out what happened in class.

How long do I have to make up work when I am absent?

Students with excused absences have until the Monday following 
their return from an absence to turn in make-up work for full 
credit.  
Tests/quizzes are to be immediately made up or the student must 
talk to the teacher to make arrangements the day they return.  
***It is the STUDENT'S responsibility to get the assignments and 
make up tests/quizzes.
