Extra Help It is the student’s responsibility to ask for help when they need it. Both of us are willing to give help at any time: recess, lunch, and afterschool. In addition to this we will plan a regular extra help class at lunch once a week. Math Extra Help: Wednesdays, 12:10-12:30English/Social Extra Help: Day 4, 12:10-12:30 Students that are attending the extra help sessions at lunch will go and have lunch for 25 minutes and then return with a hall pass which they have to receive before leaving for lunch.
Hall Passes Students need to obtain a Hall pass before they leave to get a drink or use the washroom. They also need a pass to return to a class at lunchtime. Students should not ask to leave class before a break or just after a break. (1/2 - 3/4 hour ) If your son or daughter has a medical condition, please let us know as soon as possible.
Homework/ Assignments It is a family decision whether or not work gets done at home. However, the student’s are responsible for completing all work. Students that do not complete homework are missing the opportunity to gain further understanding in the topics being covered at school. Students who repeatedly do not complete homework and assignments will have to complete them in school at our convenience. Students who complete their homework and assignments will be rewarded. Homework will be written down in the student agendas each day, it is recorded on the homework hotline, and it will be posted to the internet daily. Lost agendas can be replaced for 5$.
