Prior to the start of school - if needed.
During the school year.
After each 6 weeks (if needed).
Teachers are available before and
after school and/or during their
conference period.
• Contact teacher directly
– They are open to feedback
– They want to find a solution
SUPPLY LISTS
• Each teacher will give your
student the required supplies
depending on the course
Absences and Attendance
• Email or call attendance office
(Judy Hise [email protected]) if
student is absent.
• Bring in a parent and/or doctor’s note
when students return from absence.
• If a student is more than 10 minutes late, he
or she will need to check into the
lobby kiosk before proceeding to class.
• If parents need to withdraw a student
during the school year, they should
contact the counseling office in
advance.
Academic Support
• Tutoring: teachers will have scheduled days
for tutoring before and after school.
– Departments offer tutoring before and after
school most days.
• Students may be assigned to tutoring.
• Students will be asked to attend
tutorials if they fail an assignment
or test or if they lack understanding
of a concept.
• We want to foster open communication
about your child's understanding and
progress.
Late-work and Home Practice
• Late-work is defined as
assignments not complete or not
turned in on a specific due date.
• Missed home practice can be a
behavioral issue, not a cognitive
issue.
• Students are expected to
partner in their own learning.
• When students are absent they
will be given an opportunity to
make up missed learning.
