Parent & Student Information
LATE WORK:
Many students are getting very lax in turning in assignments on time. I explained to the students they are Pre-AP and should take their studies seriously. I give plenty of time and notice for assignments, as well as communicate with reminds. This semester, I will be holding the students to the grading policy. Points will be deducted for late work that is not tied to an absence and no more than three late assignments will be accepted in a grading period. Please help your child have a system for studies and homework so they can stay on track.
