IMPORTANT MEMO:

Let me stress to you that all notes and classwork that is kept in their binders is where the quiz/test matter is taken from. Please always check their agendas every night to check when tests are, any other pertinent information, or notes to be signed.



Extra Credit is given all year to students that receive a
D or an F on a paper. They have 1 day to correct the
paper (friends, siblings, parents, anyone!!! can help them erase the bad answer and rewrite the correct answer). I only give 1 day to do this as I have to put grades in STI and it takes many hours just to correct one assignment. Your children will have this opportunity all year long, so take advantage of it. Please help me to help your children
succeed.
