Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
Is there extra credit?
Rarely, the best way to earn extra points is Corrections. You can earn back 1/2 credit. A 70 can turn into an 85 if the paper is properly corrected :)I allow children to correct all homework and tests. We do not correct quizes.Back to Top

Does my child have homework?
If your child walks through my door, they walk out with homework. There is no way they can possibly complete the assignment with the proper attention here at school. Day one of class they will bring home vocabulary and math notes. It is important they begin studying these immediatly. These will be on their test. Day one they will also bring home MANY forms for you to review, sign, and return. PLEASE pay particular attention to the discipline code. Middle school consequences are under the 6th grade through high school guidelines. These are different and what might have cost your child recess in the past will be an infraction of a different nature now.Back to Top

What is going on with my child??? I barely recognize them!?!?!
Welcome to middle school and puberty. Not to be glibe, but it is happening at some level with every child, even the REALLY good ones. They will come back around, do what you have always done, love them and hold them accountable.Back to Top

Does my child have to show their work?
YES, this is the only way I can help determine where they are struggling. They can use a calculator, but it should be a tool to check their work, not a crutch to do their work.Back to Top
