Late Work Policy Promotion (PolicyCode 3420) As part of our mission, the pirate community is expected to exhibit a strong work ethic. Studentsare expected to turn in all assignments, projects, classwork, and homework on time.Teachers will deduct 10% of the grade each day an assignment is not turned in on time. After five days,the grade will be converted to a zero. Students in grades six through eight must earn a passing grade in a minimum of five yearlong or equivalent yearlong combination curricular classes, two of which should be language arts and mathematics.

Devices, headphones, and speakers should be kept in the student s bookbag at all times.There are to be no headphones or speakers heard or visible unless the teacher has given permission for classroom use.

PARENT EXPECTATIONS Students will be required to reflect daily in their agenda. It is our expectation that you have a conversation daily with your child about school. Students will complete grade sheets weekly with current grades and assignments due. It is our expectation that you review grades and assignments with your son/daughter, sign, and return the grade sheet. Daily conversations with your son/daughter while sometimes difficult, are crucial to ensuring they are developing healthy andappropriate habits as they progress through this stage of their life.
