HOMEWORK SLIPS
If your child does not bring in the required work, they will receive a Missing Homework Slip that you will be required to initial. This is so you know that your child was unprepared for class. It must signed and have the late work attached to it for credit.
Each child receives 1 "freebie" per trimester, then they start getting minors. Three minors equals one major. After the 2nd major, after school detention will be coordinated between school and home. This disqualifies the child for the end of the trimester reward.

2nd offense: 1st minor
