nCommunicate to your child that you expect them to behave and to follow rules.
Absences
In case of absences, students are expected to make up the work they missed. Missed work will be available at the end of the day to be picked up and posted on Jupiter gradebook when assigned. Work is expected in a timely manner: students have two days for each day absent to tun in assignments. Work is not available in advance. Arriving after 10 a.m. or leaving before 1p.m. is considered a 1/2 day absence.
Attendance
All students are expected to be in attendance each school day. The day begins promptly at 8:30 with morning announcements and students are dismissed at 3:-30 Monday-Thursday, and at 2:00 on Fridays. School gates will be opened at 8:15 and students may enter the classroom to get ready for the day. At the end of the day, students will be dismissed at the gate. If the student is is going to enrichment care or after school sports program they will be dismissed to where the enrichment care work or coach is located.

Student Planner
Students will maintain a students planer where they will keep track of their daily work and long range assignments. Assignments are written on the board and posted on Jupiter and students are to write them in the corresponding space in the book on the day it is due. The planners is to be filled out each day. I do not check to see if the planner is completed unless there is a problem turning in work. Planners are a good source of information.
