Week of 11/6
Dear parents it has come to my attention that students are not doing their homework. Please refer to the Homework policy on page 7 and 8 in the planner. The steps for the policy if homework is missed are 1st time: warning 2nd:call home by student and teacher, 3rd time: principal calls 4th time: detention for every time homework is missed. If a detention is received students must stay after school until 4:30 but this is NOT homework help. Please make sure to check my blog daily for homework. Homework is important and when it’s not done your child is behind in learning. Thanks for your continued involvement in your child’s education. If I did not call you your child did their homework. However this information is important for the future.
