Parent Teacher Interviews

Friday March 19th from 8:30 we will be seeing parents for interviews. I hope many people are able to be there, but the schedule is, admittedly, less than ideal. We could not schedule an evening since so many staff are away this week on training. That said, we hope if you cannot make it on Friday that you will arrange to see teachers at your convenience next week - we try to make ourselves available.

That said, Juniors (6-8) have report cards, but Seniors (9-12) do not. For my classes, all students are given Markbooks at the end of the onth, so if you haven't gotten one, it may be lost in a binder or a locker. Ask me and I can email them, if that is more convenient.

For Senior reports, I do not mark penalties on late work, but I do need to report these grades all the same. When we come to a report card time, then, any work not received becomes a '0' which can be adjusted if I get the assignment later. Please encourage your young scholars to keep up with classroom assignments! It becomes difficult to see the light when assignments have piled up to a large degree.

For Junior reports, I will not allow students to leave work undone - they will stay in my classroom and complete their work even if it means missing gym class. The general rule that applies is: do your work and you will do fine. If you put off assignments,it will mean lost time in other (likely more fun) classes.

Please do come see me or contact the school for alternate interview times.
