“Don’t ask if they have homework, ask what work was assigned.” ~ Rachel Parson
Our school, EVERY student, and EVERY class
Students MUST be writing assignments and due dates in their agendas. If they are not, then make them. It’s a requirement and a life skill that they need to learn. It’s part of our culture at CCHS.
Ask your child about academic lab M,W, and F.
