  5. Expectation of Parents/Guardians • To be supportive of student and teacher • To monitor student planner, weekly syllabus, notebooks, and homework • To communicate with the teacher

  6. What you can do! • Check your child’s planner to make sure their work is completed • Expect open discussion on student progress • Check Power School regularly to ensure accurate grades • Be on the look out for extra-credit tasks, projects, and up coming assessments

  7. Communication • If your student misses a homework assignment, they will receive a homework slip that all parents or guardians are expected to sign. Students have until the next class meeting to turn in the completed assignment for 3 out of 5 points. Or at the Friday detention they can complete it and earn 2 out of 5 points. • If your student’s grade drops to a D or U you will be hearing from me. • If you need anything at all please contact me either through e-mail or phone. • ehowe@op97.org • (708) 524-5830 ext. 5103
