A Note From Your Teachers

It is very important that homework is considered “home practice”. If you are not making an honest effort to practice/study at home, then a vital piece of your learning is lost. We are getting ready for high school. Please continue to come to class with completed assignments. If you are absent, homework requests can be made through the office. If you are missing assignments, speak with your teachers. All missed assignments must be turned in. Finally, make use of Academic Enrichment to catch up on missing assignments, notes, or to seek extra help.
