2. After School Tutoring is available for students who need extra help in specific areas.

3. If you are absent from school, you are allowed twice the number of days absent to turn in the work for full credit.

4. If you are absent from school for a school activity, you are still responsible for completing and turning in your missed assignment.

5. Grades are posted on PARENT CONNECT, and I will also email progress reports weekly.

6. The following grade codes will be used for late or missing work:

     NTI (Not Turned In - and needs to be)       

     ABS (Absent) Assignment still needs to be turned in. Excused for twice the number of days absent.   

    EXC or E (Excused) Assignment doesn't need to be made up.
