MRS. SANDERS

Missing work

Parents/Scholars:

It is important that work is turned in on time and in a timely fashion. I have seen an INCREASE in missing work  (classwork and homework). It is the scholars responsibility to turn in work once it leaves the room. Some scholars want to take work home that is classwork and then it becomes a missing assignment once they fail to turn it in.

We are approaching this six weeks all wrong and there is time to get back on the straight and narrow. Please check grade speed and locate your missing items then, turn them in.

 

Thanks!

Mrs. Sanders
