be signed by a parent or guardian and returned to student’s second period
teacher. The Wednesday Folder will also contain their current Language Arts
grade when progress and grade reports are sent home.
Zangle Webconnect—Check current grades and
attendance anytime using the Internet. All you have to do is sign up. Check the
beginning of the year paperwork for the form or go see the staff in the back
attendance office. It is that easy.

Arts will center on large projects. Students will complete several projects
over the course of the year. Students will present their projects during

worth only 50% of the total points earned for the assignment. After an
instructional unit is finished, NO work
related to that unit will be accepted. Make up work will be accepted following
an excused absence. Students are allowed one day in addition to the number of
days absent to make up work for an excused absence. Tests and quizzes must be
taken as soon as possible. It is the
student’s responsibility to collect homework or work from day(s) absent.
