How can I get the work that my child did not bring home?

I am usually here after school. If it is before 4:00 p.m. call 
ahead. After 
4:00 p.m. you will be taking a chance that you may not be able to 
get into 
the building. Have your child make arrangements with another 
student who they 
could call for assignments.

How do I find out how my child is progressing in class.?

We have four marking periods when report cards are issued. The 
first marking 
period we ask all parents to come in for a conference where you 
will receive 
your child's report card. You can contact me at any time via the 
student 
agenda, e mail, or on the phone.

How do I get make-up work for my child when he is absent?

If you are able to retrieve work for your child, call early in 
the morning 
and I will collect the work and have it in the office for you at 
the end of 
the school day.

Can my child have extra credit to raise his/her grade?

I do not offer extra credit work, but if you would like your 
child to stay 
after school for extra help, please cntact me so we can make 
arrangements.

Can my child stay after school for help?

My students are welcomed to stay after school for help. Make 
arrangements 
with me as I may have a meeting or class to attend. There is a 
late bus that 
arrives at our building at 3:45 for those students who normally 
take the bus 
except on Fridays.

Can my child have work to do on an extended family vacation?

We do not want to encourage you to pull your children out of 
school for 
vacations during school time. We provide work only for students 
who are 
absent due to illness or other circumstances that are 
unpreventable. If you 
take such a vacation, I suggest to my students that they keep a 
journal of 
their experiences.
