Parent contact will be made as needed. If extreme circumstances arise, parent will be contact by phone to inform them of the circumstance and how we can work together to best facilitate the students' best academic and or behavioral progress moving forward. Parents are always welcomed and encouraged to contact for any concern. While phone calls are great we do prefer email.

Students whom are given the chance to make up work will be given a deadline which they need to adhere too. Student will lose points when this deadline is passed. The student will receive a five (5) for assignments not turned in; however if it is eventually turned in the highest possible grade will be 70% with all correct answers. It will also be my discretion whether the work is accepted after the EXTENDED DEADLINE.
