Late Work
|
In an effort to promote student responsibility, late assignments will not be accepted for credit unless a student is absent. If an absence occurs, it is the student’s responsibility to find out what was missed and turn in any work assigned during the absence within three school days from the return date. |

checkout sheet the time and whether you are going to check out a book or
take a quiz: Go directly to the library and carry out your business: No

Student Led Conferences |
Parent-teacher conferences will have a different look than they did at the elementary level. It is very difficult to meet with all parents of our 100+ students in the limited amount of time available. To remedy this situation, we will facilitate student-led conferences. During the first quarter, we will train the students in leading the conferences using a student conferencing packet. Parents are expected to accompany students on conference night near the end of September. Because the school does not schedule conferences for all students during the second, third, and fourth quarters, each student will bring home a conferencing packet and grade print-outs from each class for home conferences. We have used this format successfully for several years. If parents feel the need for an individual team conference, we can schedule those upon request. |
