Homework Reminder:
School planners are filled out at the end of each period listing
any homework that needs to be completed, as well as upcoming
tests. A "Homework Calendar," posted within the classroom, is
also filled out daily listing any homework that was assigned.
If a student is absent it is his/her reponsibility to check the
calendar upon their return. Any papers that may have been
distributed are on a clipboard located next to the Homework
Calendar. Each child should have at least two study buddies
written within their student planner to contact as well. A
student has the same number of days that they were absent to
complete their missing work.
