You are now in 7th grade. It is your responsibility to complete all of the work assigned. How can you get this job done? Here are a few tips:
1. Always come to class prepared. This means having something with which to write - either a pencil or a blue/black pen.
2. Make sure your pencil is sharpened at the beginning of class.
3. If necessary, go to the bathroom at the BEGINNING of class. You will not be able to go during class. You must have your agenda for a hall pass.
4. WHEN YOU ARE ABSENT: it is YOUR responsibility to find out what work you have missed and it is YOUR responsibility to make up that work. Most times you will have to come after school to get this work or to complete it.
