End of Quarter/Semester Items
-As we near the end of the 2nd quarter, students that are struggling (NE or BE) range, should be working outside of their normal class time to get things in order. The parent/guardian of any student that falls in this category should be in the loop and working with us to help their child work to improve their performance.
-Students with significant missing work issues should be working over their lunch or after school to meet the requirements. If you have questions, I'd be happy to assist with any student that could be struggling in this area.
