Comments/Notes

 

 

Sometimes students do not finish assignments in class. I allow them to take the work home to complete rather than finishing it in class the next day. That is why it will not be noted in the homework hotline information. 

 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I truly believe communication with parents is a critical element for student success.

 

Thanks!
