If a student needs additional assistance,
I am available during the 8th grade lunch period. I often stay
after school, however it is best for a student to
check with me before making arrangements to stay late. Assignments from
times of absences should be made up within a reasonable time. If a
student is absent for more than one day in a row, it is helpful for students to
arrange to have assignments picked up from school so they do not get further
behind.
