Please follow these
 steps for success:

1.   Use your assignment notebook.

2. Write the “Seventh Grade Heading” on all of your work in the upper right hand corner: first and last name, date and period, teacher, and assignment.

3. Keeper your binder and locker 
organized. Homeroom is a good time for this.

4.  Check the weekly calendar to help you plan ahead for upcoming tests, projects and events.

5.    Ask teachers for help if you need it.

6.   If you have been absent, check with your teacher to see what you missed. If necessary, schedule time to make up work during homeroom or after school.

7.   Stay informed of your grade progress.  Most teachers post current grades on e-school. 

 Assignments and  
 Grading:

• Students are expected to use their assignment notebooks.
• Students are expected to turn in work on the date it is due. 
• Late work will receive no more than half credit. 
• We encourage students to communicate with us if they are having trouble keeping up with assignments for any reason.

Academic Accountability:

Absences
 (School policy):

• The goals of the program are to help students to develop responsibility, complete homework on time, and to keep students from falling behind.
• When a student does not do an assignment, he/she will fill out an Academic Accountability form.
• The student will have the opportunity to complete the late work for late credit the next day.
• If the student does not complete the missing assignment, he/she will serve a detention with the that teacher.
• During the academic detention, the student will complete the missing assignment and receive help from the teacher if needed.
• Students who do not attend academic detentions will be given a behavioral detention which must be signed by a parent and will be kept on file in the office.

• If a student is absent due to illness, he or she has two days to make up work for every one day absent from school.
• If a student is absent due to vacation, one day is allowed to make up work for every day out.

 Scheduling a 
 meeting with
 teachers:

• If a parent would like to meet with the team, please contact the team leader Mr. Clemens. The best time to meet with the team starts at 10:20 A.M. However, the team can be flexible and will try to accommodate parents’ schedules if possible.

 Homeroom:

• Students are expected to bring their binders, books and homework to homeroom.  We will have a silent study hall on most days.
• Homeroom is also an opportunity to see teachers for help. Students should ask for a pass from that teacher prior to homeroom.
