Will I have homework every night?

You can expect a reasonable amount of homework each school day- more if you do
not complete your in-class assignments.  Long-term assignments and projects
will sometimes need to be worked on over the weekend.

Can I do extra credit to improve my grade?

Opportunities for extra credit are very rare in 6th grade.  We would rather
you do your best on each and every assignment, therefore eliminating the need
to ask for extra credit.

How do I find out about the work that was assigned when I was absent?

You can check your absence folder, consult the agenda board, view the website,
ask a friend, and ask the teachers.   It is your responsibility as a student
to find out what you missed.
