Please check the grade of your student and help them turn in any assignments that have a zero or no grade.
Also parents, there are students that arrive to class without the basic school supplies such as a science binder with paper and a pencil or a pen to write with. Please check with your student and purchase paper and pens for the rest of the school year. Thank you for making sure that your students are being successful at school.
