There is a difference between NOT KNOWING & NOT KNOWING YET.
1 Students are responsible for getting make-up work.
2 If absent on a test day, the student will take the test the day he/she returns.
3 Students will be given the numbers of days absent plus one day to complete missed assignments.
4 Students participating in sports will be responsible for asking the teacher to sign eligibility forms as needed.
5 Late work (not related to an absence) will be accepted but with point deductions.

not something you are.
Home Access
This is a web-based parent tool that allows you to check your student’s attendance, scheduled courses, demographic information, and class work. If you haven’t signed up, stop by the front office for information. This is an EXCELLENT way to keep up with your student’s grades.
homework
electronic devices
Students should read 15 minutes every night. No reading logs will be collected, but Mrs. Phillips will collect information at the beginning of the year to meet the interests and needs of individual students’ reading lives.
Most work will be able to be completed in class if students use their time wisely.
If students do not complete work during class, in the time allotted, it will be assigned as homework so students can adhere to the determined deadlines.
Electronic devices are allowed to be used before and after school and at lunch. Please respect the learning environment and do not attempt to text during off times.
