Homework

Parents/guardians are encouraged to monitor the time their children spend working on schoolwork at home. A student planner is a good tool for parental monitoring of student work. Although study time is usually provided during the school day, students should expect to have homework every day. Parents/guardians can contact their child’s teacher or School Counselor with questions about homework study skills. Help is available at school. Teachers will be willing to set-up study times with students before or after school hours.

Make-up Work

Students should visit the teacher’s Google Classroom site to get make-up work when they are absent. Assignments may also be picked up if online access is limited. Students are generally given two days to complete make-up for each day absent.
