Day twelve - even dozen down

And the beat goes on. The homework has started. Parent Portal information is current within 10 school days of assignment. The first question should be directed to student. Most of the time the student is fully aware of what is missing. About the third time the excuse for missing assignment is the teacher lost it or the dog ate it, there might need to be a different discussion.

Attendance should be settled by now. If your student misses one period unexcused in a school day you receive an automatic telephone call that evening to the telephone number on file.

We are concerned about learning. Please talk to your student about coming to each class prepared - having homework, text material, something to write with and something to write on. Just showing up is an important first step but that is all. We need alertness, motivation and some concern about self.

School appears to be going well. It is exciting and a wonderful adventure.
