Does Ms. Mick allow students to do make-up work?

Of course!  If a student has been gone from school for a 
legitimate reason they will be given a reasonable amount of time 
to recieve and turn in make-up work.  Students and parents must 
understand that sometimes classwork cannot be made up, for 
instance a group activity, a video, or an in-class assignment.

Who is responsible for make-up work?

The student is responsible for make-up work.  The student needs 
to ask Ms. Mick for make-up work the day they return to class.  
Students  who wait a few days or weeks to get make-up work will 
not recieve credit for their work. Make-up work needs to be done 
in a timely fashion, and it is the student's responsiblity.

Should students put their names on their papers?

Yes!  First and last names are necessary everytime a student 
expects a grade or credit for their work.  NO NAME, NO GRADE.

Are students expected to be on time for class?

Of course!  It is intrusive when students are showing up late on 
a regular basis.  Students need to be in class and prepared 
everyday. Excessive tardies will be dealt with on an individual 
basis.  

It is especially an issue in the morning!  Parents it is your 
responsibilty as well as the students to make sure they are in 
class on time.

How often should I check my child's progress?

Each student has a planner with a place for weekly progress 
reports.  I am more than to happy to fill these out once a week 
if the student asks me to. Fridays are usually best for this 
unless their are unusual circumstances during that week.

How often is this website updated?

As often as possible. I hope this means at least once a month or 
at least once during a six week grading period, sometimes once 
every week or so.

What can I do to bring up my grade?

Are you attending class?  Are you paying attention and taking 
notes when you are here?  Are you doing all of your homework and 
turning every assignment in on time?  Are you keeping track of 
your assignments and keeping up with your notebook?  Are you 
asking questions when you don't understand something?  Do you 
come in during tutorial to see Ms. Mick when you have questions?  
Are you attending the afterschool tutoring?  

If you answered all of these questions yes, then you should be 
making a decent grade already.  If you answered no to any of 
these questions then you have your answer.  You know how to 
improve your grades...don't wait until it's it too late.
