What happens if I don't have my homework in on time?

In the first term of sixth grade you receive an OOPS slip to be 
signed by a parent and returned the next day with the completed 
assignment.  
Points are taken off for tardiness.  If it's not in that second 
day, a detention is given.  WORD OF ADVICE:  TRY TO BE ORGANIZED!

How can I contact the teachers?

Notes can be delivered by the students or left in the mailboxes 
in the office.  Also teachers can be left voicemails or email 
messages which will be responded to in a timely manner.
