Progress Reports

Just a reminder that progress reports were sent home this week. Please review this with your parents, have them sign it, and return it to me as soon as possible. If you have a mark with the comment "absent" beside it, you are responsible to finish the work, but were not given a mark for that item. You will receive a mark once I have received it. If you have a mark with "incomplete" beside it, you are responsible to finish the work, but you have been given a zero until I receive it and mark it. If it is marked as incomplete, it is because you were present when it was assigned, but you have chosen to not hand it in on time. Please remember that late work is graded as such, and you are responsible for you. If you are absent you are still responsible to `catch up`on any missed work. If you have any concerns or need any help with completing an assignment, you know I am available each and every day.
