ATTENTION ALL 8 BLUE STUDENTS: Keep in mind our team's policy of TWO WEEKS
for all missing assignments to be made up and submitted (Board policy states
3 days).
After two weeks the missing assignment will receive a failed score. You
will have had numerous opportunities to do the work at home, during Learning
Centers, or at Homework Club.
We encourage you to keep current with all your assignments! Try your best to
complete each day's work ON THAT DAY so that you will not become overwhelmed.
If you need to email me: dholmes@milforded.org However, be aware that I may
not read your email until the following morning.
