Lincoln Middle School
September 23, 2022 | Weekend Update
I hope you all had a wonderful week. It's hard to believe that we are a little more than halfway through the first quarter. During this midterm time, teachers/teams will be reaching out to you if your child's grades are near the 70% range or below. We appreciate the partnership and connection we have with you as parents. As a reminder, you all have access to the Parent Portal where you can see your child's grades in real-time and you are always able to see their academic progress. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's team or teachers.
Below we have a series of updates for you to review and opportunities for your children. I hope you all have a wonderful three-day weekend and we look forward to seeing our Lions back in the building on Tuesday.
Sincerely,
Eric Larson, Principal
Homework Requests | A Message from Mr. Steen
Homework request AFTER an absence:
A homework request can be initiated after students have missed at least two days of school. Teachers are not required to provide homework before the two-day minimum.
If parents and students are interested in obtaining homework prior to the two-day minimum, then they are encouraged to check team webpages and teachers’ Google Classroom.
Upon returning to school, students must turn in homework that was given to them before the absence. Students, however, will have one day for each day of absence to make up any work that was not given to them before the absence.
Students are responsible upon their return to check with all of their teachers for any homework, tests, quizzes, projects, or other assignments that need to be made up.
Homework request BEFORE an absence: A homework request before an absence should be initiated by contacting a teacher at least three days prior to the absence. Teachers are not required to provide homework before an absence. If a teacher does provide homework, please be aware that the homework is the teacher’s “best estimate”. There may be changes in the homework upon the student’s return and/or an alternate assignment may be given. Parents and students are encouraged to check team webpages and teachers’ Google Classroom for homework. Upon returning to school, students will have one day for each day of absence to make up any work that was given to them before the absence. Students are responsible upon their return to check with all of their teachers for any homework, tests, quizzes, projects, or other assignments that need to be made up.
