  7. Weekly Communication • Thursday Folders • All graded items will be sent home each Thursday • Students must complete the chart with their current grades and number of missing assignments • Parents must sign • Due on Friday

  8. Attendance/Absent Work • Regular attendance and timeliness is critical. • Call the office to notify us it you can pick up absent work. • Check our websites • Students are responsible for making up all work. • Work is due back the following Friday after the week the child was absent. • If work is never turned in, it will be a missing assignment. • Absent work must be turned in to the white box with “AB” written on the top near the heading.

  9. Missing Assignments • Late/missing assignments will be accepted the first trimester only for 70% credit. • Missing assignments are always due the following Monday in the black basket. • If missing assignments are not turned in the grade will go into the grade book as zero percent.
