Spring Slide.....

This time of year it's getting warmer, the sun is starting to come out more often and...it happens at every school....students start to let things slide. Getting to class, turning in homework, etc. Every morning I generate a list of all homework referrals (missing assignments). This morning the number was close to 700 late assignments. Now, before you fall out of your chair, we have over 600 students and many of those missing assignments are from a very small group of students that are just refusing to do anything, regardless of how we try to motivate them. Many teachers also will assign a referral when a student is absent as a reminder to the student that they need to get the make up work in. But even with that, 700 is a lot of missing assignments. Please check Parent Connect and have a talk with your student to make sure they are staying on top of their assignments. The light is getting brighter at the end of the tunnel but we've still got a ways to go to get to summer break.
