End of the Second Card Marking

Hello O. L. Smith Community,

As I work on finalizing grades this weekend, I am noticing that the amount of work not turned in continues to be a problem. There should be no reason for students to not turn their work in. I rarely assign work without giving students ample time to work on it in class.

For some students, they have a difficult time focusing and they do not finish the work in class. In these instances, I ask students to complete the assignment at home and turn it in the next day. Others complete the assignments and do not turn them in, even as I ask for it as they walk out the classroom door. I am unsure why students who complete the assignment so not turn it in.

Please, check your student’s grades on ParentConnect. If they have anything missing, please email me ASAP. I will send the work home and they must complete it and email it back or turn it in in-person by Monday, December 7th.

I do have numerous assignments without a name as well. If your child insists they turned an assignment in, please have them check with me during bellwork on Monday.

I will be revisiting the late work policy and will inform you of the adjustments after I have spoken with the students.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
