Notes from the Office:
ProgressBook
Now is a great time to get in the habit of checking ProgressBook at least once weekly alongside your student. If you have never used ProgressBook before, please contact Janna Eason for your user key, 513.273.3305. Letters with your user key and step-by-step directions have been sent out in the mail.
Tuesday/Thursday Help Sessions
Teachers will be assigning after school help sessions on Tuesday and/or Thursday for any student missing assignments. Please check with your student to be sure they have turned in all of their work! If they haven't, the required help session will be an excellent time for them to get it finished.
Tardies to school
For students who arrive on foot, by bicycle, or by car, please arrive to school on time! We want to see you and help you learn.
Hours of unexcused tardies count toward your absence total. Upon the third unexcused tardy to school (per quarter), administration will issue a lunch detention. Subsequent tardies will accrue either lunch detentions, after school detention, or In School Assignment in order to make up missed time at school.
Thanks for your help in getting our kids to school on time!
