Team 6-3: 2nd Trimester Late Work Policy

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Remember the first trimester comes to an end on Tuesday, November 25. In order for your child to receive late credit for missing work in their core classes they must turn it in to us by November 25th.

As the 2nd trimester approaches we wanted you to be aware of changes regarding our team’s late work policy for the second trimester. As you know we update grades on the online gradebook every two weeks or so. During the 2nd trimester your child will have one week from the update to turn in any missing or absent work. If the work is not turned in within that week your child will not have another opportunity to make up the work. They will receive a zero for the missing assignment(s).

It is important that you check the online gradebook when we send an email notification stating grades have been updated. Encourage your child to come see us at lunch or homework club if they have any questions about missing or absent work. Please continue to watch the syllabus and check that your child is completing all of their work on time. As always contact us with any questions.

Sincerely,
Team 6-3 Core Teachers
