********************************************
Please note - In Middle School, Each class assignment counts as a
whole grade. It is important that parents not throw out Incomplete work. Have students finish their unfinished assignments and return to school
the next week. Incomplete class work that is not returned will receive a lower grade (C or D).  Students in middle school are responsible for making up all class work or homework missed when absent from class for any reason.
Many students have also been coming in without art supplies...From now on, missing art supplies will also result in a lower grade
 Finally, many of the middle school class assignments
are dependent on homework being brought in ON TIME,
so don't forget to do your homework and save it to your iPad!
