10. Attendance and Late Work
Late Work Policy
 Assignments are expected to be turned in on the assigned due date. If an assignment is not turned on time the grade will be affected for every day it is late. All late work is expected to be finished and turned in. The late work policy is consistent throughout the middle school.

11. Attendance and Late Work
Absences and Tardies
It is the student’s responsibility to check with the homework chart/teacher for make-up work. This includes being absent for an excused event, illness, or any unforeseen event. Students will have one day to make up the work for each day absent. If the student chooses not to make up the work on time, he/she will not receive points for the work. Tests and quizzes will be given the day prior to leaving for a known absence. Tests and quizzes will be given upon the student’s return after an illness.

12. Homework
Please check the St. Catherine website daily for homework / the charts have also been shared with each of your children in their Google drive
Homework is posted daily at 3:10 with the students
Students are expected to write all homework in their planners daily.
Students may at anytime. I normally check my s starting around 7:00 am until 7:00pm.
I am happy to print needed materials for students at school if there is a printer issue at home but it should be sent the night prior, as I will print it before my zero period.

13. Contacting the Teachers
I am not always able to immediately return s as I am teaching and many times am unable to get to the computer. All teachers can be contacted through .
