STUDYING & MISSING ASSIGNMENTS Parents can help students by checking the

online communication book for internet links, key vocabulary words and worksheets.

If your child’s score is lower than expected it is most likely due to missing work/assignments. We have the homeroom TAs supporting in Science to help students be responsible for handing in their work.

ONLINE COMMUNICATION BOOK & ABSENSES

To help students understand that their in class work has value and is important the daily notes will NOT be uploaded to the online communication book.

If your child is absent for some reason you can contact the TA or myself to help your child get notes or worksheets.
