FAQ

1. How do I request homework if my child is absent? Please call 594-2200 and let the office know that you would like to request make up work for your child. Homework requested by 9:30 am will be ready for pick up by 3:30 pm. Late home request does not allow Teachers time to pull your students work and teach their students.
   
2. How do I find out if my child has any homework? Please encourage your student to use a planner or agenda page. You can check this daily. Assignments to be graded will typically be posted by the teacher to the online grade book the same day they are assigned. 
   
   
3. What do I do if my child has a doctor's appointment that will cause him to be tardy or miss class? Please bring a note from the doctor when your student returns to school. If a student leaves during the school day, a parent must sign them out. When the student returns to school, don't forget the doctor's note. Absences due to doctor's visits are not counted against the student.
