It reports on Aeries that I have a missing assignment for the SBAC PT Practice. However, I clearly remember handing it in. If you could possibly find some time to check on it, I would be immensely grateful. Thank you very much! Sincerely, Margaret Lee

Commonly Asked Questions How come I don’t see my child working on book reports, posters, and essays at home like they used to in elementary school? While students will still be writing essays and reading novels, we will be doing a lot of assignments and assessments on Chromebooks. Instead of posters they present on Google Slides, and instead of printed essays they submit online. I have enough Chromebooks for each student in class, and they are able to come to my class before/after school to use them (for my class or other subject areas).

Commonly Asked Questions How can I get my child to read more or do their homework?

Commonly Asked Questions How do I approach absences? While parents are required to notify the office, teachers really appreciate written or emailed notifications for multiple day absences in advance. I’m going to Disney World for 4 days, and we’re leaving tomorrow morning at 7am. Can you give me everything I’m going to miss by the end of the class period? We have 10 minutes left.

Commonly Asked Questions Do you accept late work? Yes, but… First semester = 25% deducted off Second semester = 50% deducted off **Exceptions are made for absences; see syllabus for more late-work information
