Students must have books or access by August 28
tissues and wet wipes are always appreciated as extra supplies

An extra credit opportunity is allowed each nine weeks. It cannot be on any required reading (from any grade) or books that have been made into a movie, youtube video, or TV show. Books must also be 6th grade level or lexile score of 860 or higher. If a google search shows movie, youtube, TV or low lexile score - report will not be scored.

Parents should always check his/her child's student agenda every day. Parents can also sign up for email notifications in Gooogle Classroom.

Students may have additional homework not posted.

Extra credit information is located in Google Classroom under Classwork. It is available every 9 weeks.
Requirements are different for each nine weeks. Details will be given to each student in Google Classroom. Late reports are not accepted.

Assignments are made in Google Classroom. Due dates are beside each assignment. Assignments are considered late if not completed by the due time.

Since Chromebooks will not be going home, it wil be essential for students to use class time wisely.

Look under Classwork to see assignment - double check to see if answers are on the assignment or if your child just clicked turned in.

Excused absences will be allowed to make up assignments based on number of days absent from school
