We may use our whiteboards together in discussions. Students should be engaged and working hard every minute while in the classroom.

Incomplete Assignments You must attend the Success Room during lunch recess for all incomplete assignments including in-class assignments, excludes absences. Fill out Success Room Form and attach a $20 check to form. If you don’t have a $20 check when you give the form to me to be initialed, you will not get a check the next week. I initial, take the Pink Copy and check, and return the form to you. You take the form and binder with incomplete work to Success Room. Mrs. Wilson initials the slip and takes the yellow copy. You take the white part of the form home to be signed by guardian. The next day you return the signed sheet and the completed work, and I will return the remaining $10 to you.
